PCD is excited to announce that two members of the Class of 2025, Brady Jones and Nerissa Theisen, have been named Semifinalists in the 70th Annual National Merit Scholarship Program. They represent the top 0.5% of senior students who took the PSAT nationally last fall. Out of 1.3 million American students who took the PSAT, there are only 16,000 Semifinalists from across the nation.
PCD is thrilled to welcome two new members to our Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees, made up of PCD and HBS alumni, current parents and alumni parents, is tasked with the responsibility of providing strategic guidance to PCD’s school administration and serves as the school’s greatest champions and cheerleaders. We are so very fortunate to have these new representatives joining our Board for this school year.

In March, the Lower School raised funds to support the Hotel for Homeless Dogs Humane Society. Each class was challenged to collect as much spare change as possible, with the winning class receiving a Puppy Pizza Party. In total, the school raised over $4500 for the shelter.
For the majority of its 125 year history, the Henry Barnard School had been a teaching school, where education students from Rhode Island College (RIC) could spend time in the classroom — learning from current teachers and gaining firsthand experience with students. But that program ended more than a decade ago. It was only in the last few years that talks of restoring it began.
PCD is sad to announce that one of our school's giants, Tom Ossman, passed away on Saturday, March 30. Mr. Ossman passed peacefully in the presence of family at his residence at Wingate Blackstone in Providence, where he lived for the past several years. Tom had recently turned 94 on March 1.

PCD’s annual Chowder Day weekend was another resounding success. This community-wide event began in 1944 and has been a much-anticipated annual tradition ever since, as PCD comes together to cheer on the Knights in athletic contests throughout the day, enjoy chowder and clam cakes, and chat with old friends and new.
