- School Information
- "The Prout School is a Catholic, diocesan, coeducational college-preparatory school educating students in southern Rhode Island for more than 50 years. We have been an IB [International Baccalaureate] World School for more than 20 years." Furthermore, "The Prout School is a vibrant Catholic community that educates the whole person for productive membership in the global community by fostering quality in spiritual, academic, artistic and athletic pursuits." Regarding the founding of the school, "On September 8, 1966, Prout Memorial High School opened its doors to a student body of 95 freshman and sophomores, all girls. The faculty and staff included nine Sisters of the Cross and Passion and five lay teachers, led by Sister Dolores, CP, the school's first headmistress." Later on, "In 1981, Prout became a diocesan high school. However, the founding Sisters remained as administrators and teachers. In September of 1986, responding to the need for a Catholic, coeducational high school in southern Rhode Island, Prout opened its doors to young men" (Source: https://www.theproutschool.org/).
