Providence Academy was named one of the best 50 Catholic secondary schools in America for the third year in a row. Providence is the only school in Minnesota to make the Catholic High School Honor Roll's top 50 and one of only 12 in the nation to be designated for three consecutive years.

Nearly 1,300 Catholic high schools could apply to the Honor Roll by completing surveys that measure academic excellence, Catholic identity, and civic education.

The Catholic High School Honor Roll is an independent project of the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty, an international research and educational organization based in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Providence Academy is a co-ed, pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade, Catholic school, at 15100 Schmidt Lake Road, Plymouth.
