Providence Cristo Rey High School

We are excited to announce that Greg VanSlambrook has been named the next President & CEO of Providence Cristo Rey High School and will officially begin his role on July 15, 2026.

Greg brings more than 25 years of experience in Catholic education and a deep passion for creating transformative opportunities for young people. A lifelong educator and leader, he most recently served as Principal of Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School, where he spent the past 14 years leading and strengthening the school community.

Throughout the search process, Greg's authenticity, humility, and unwavering commitment to Catholic education stood out. His passion for building communities where all can thrive aligns deeply with our mission and the values of Love, Mercy, and Justice that guide everything we do at Providence Cristo Rey.

As we prepare for this exciting new chapter, we are beyond grateful for the leadership of outgoing President & CEO Tyler Mayer and look forward to the future with great optimism.

Please join us in welcoming Greg, his wife Sara, and their four children to the Providence Cristo Rey family. We are thrilled to have him lead our community as we continue transforming lives through faith, education, and opportunity.

Just a few weeks after graduating, Litzy Molina-Pavon is adding another incredible honor to her list of accomplishments!

Litzy was recognized by the Marion County Coaches of Girls Sports Association as an Outstanding Senior Athlete, an honor she received after being nominated by Coach Scott. She was celebrated alongside other outstanding female student-athletes from across Marion County.

This recognition is a testament to Litzy's hard work, leadership, and dedication throughout her time at Providence Cristo Rey. We are so proud to see our recent graduate continue to be recognized for all she has accomplished.

Congratulations, Litzy! Your Wolf family is cheering you on every step of the way.

Summer may be quieter on campus, but there is plenty happening behind the scenes!

We're making major improvements this summer, including a complete renovation of our chapel and a brand-new refinished gym floor featuring updated Providence Cristo Rey branding.

These projects are all part of our commitment to providing the best possible environment for our students, staff, and community. We can't wait to share the finished results with you.

Stay tuned throughout the summer as we provide updates and sneak peeks along the way.

Go Wolves!

Last week, 17 Providence Cristo Rey students traveled to Cincinnati for our annual BLAST service trip! Representing rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors, our Wolves spent the week living out our mission through service, community, and faith.

Throughout the week, students volunteered at six different organizations: St. Vincent de Paul, New Life Furniture Bank, Olivet Baptist Church, Matthew 25: Ministries, Working In Neighborhoods (WIN), and the FreeStore Foodbank. They stocked shelves, assisted shoppers at food pantries, worked in community gardens, sorted donations, and even helped build 54 tables for families transitioning into stable housing. Students gained hands-on experience serving others while making a meaningful impact in the Cincinnati community.

Of course, BLAST wasn't all work! Students spent evenings cooking meals together, playing games, enjoying Graeter's ice cream, swimming, and building friendships. The week concluded with a special evening hosted by Ms. Roell's family, who welcomed the group into their home for swimming, food, and fellowship.

Thank you to our students, chaperones, and community partners for making this year's BLAST trip such a memorable experience. We are proud of the way our Wolves served, learned, and grew together throughout the week!

Freestore Foodbank

On Friday, May 22, we proudly celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2026.

Despite the rain, the day was filled with pride as each senior crossed the stage to mark the completion of their journey at Providence Cristo Rey High School. A meaningful highlight of the ceremony was our bell tradition, where students rang the same bell that first welcomed them to PCR when they were accepted. This time, they rang it once more to symbolize the end of their time here and the lasting legacy they leave behind.

We also recognized Valedictorian Elijah Grimes and Salutatorian Litzy Molina-Pavon for their outstanding academic achievement.

The Class of 2026 graduates leave Providence Cristo Rey with a strong foundation of faith, leadership, academics, service, and Corporate Work Study experience. We are proud of all they have accomplished and excited to see the impact they will make in the world.

The BLAST trip is off to a great start here in Cincinnati. Our group of 17 students has already served at four different places including St. Vincent de Paul, Free Store Food Bank, neighborhood projects, and the Olivet Baptist Church food pantry. We have painted, gardened, stocked shelves, helped families shop for food, and a lot more.

We have also had some fun with thrift shopping, a stop at DQ, and plenty of games. No phones on this trip has made the group even closer. Proud of how hard everyone is working.
