North Providence High School 

North Providence High is a public school located in North Providence, RI. It is one of the most overrated schools in the world. There are about 1-3 fights per week or month and people act tough and try to start shit for no reason. Some of the students claim they are from Brooklyn just so they can seem tough, but everyone there knows they really arent. It’s a poor school and has no school spirit, no homecoming dances, and let's not forget how bad all the sports teams are other than wrestling. Kids in between classes go to the bathroom (usually the 2nd floor one) and pass a juul around. Freshman girls date seniors just because they can drive and people only associate with you for looks, clout, style and money. There’s usually leaks in the ceilings and teachers have fans in their classrooms cuz apparently the school has enough money to buy flatscreens for every room in the school but can’t fix the heating system or buy air conditioning for the classrooms. No one cares about school there, everyone wants to either drop out or transfer because of how bad the school is, and kids always skip in the bathrooms or walk out the side doors going from the 1st to 2nd floor. There is so many things wrong with this school and is probably one of the worst schools in the state of RI.

Dude 1: You see that white kid over there with his pants sagging. He just got in a fight with someone the other day cuz someone was talking about his girl and he stole his juul.

Dude 2: Wow really!? He must go to North Providence High School.

south providence 

A city in Rhode Island with a population consisting mainly of Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, it can tend to get a little stabby. Once a booming mill city along the river, It's population's main income is welfare and drugs, although there is a thriving Barber Shop/Auto Accessory market. Exorbitant sums of government grant money has recently been used to build an enormous new High School, it has been historically unaccredited, and has 2,000 freshmen, 1,500 sophomores, 12 juniors and a graduating class of 2.

Care should be taken by the outsider when driving through the south side, as everyone from the smallest barely clothed children all the way up to the belligerent drunken day laborer, and everyone in between enjoys jumping into traffic without looking, double and triple parking(they think it's legal if the hazard lights are on), and opening doors into your moving vehicle.

All in all the city government is corrupt, it's school system broken, and it's residents too. Rent is cheap, Restaurants ESL, police incompetent, drugs available, and stabbings plentiful.

On Broad st. in Providence, you can get a haircut at 23 different barber shops, a car stereo at 28 separate locations, Crack, weed, heroin, Dunkin' Donuts, a handgun, 19 Merengue Night Clubs, 29 "Chimmy" trucks, prostitutes, stabbed and arrested. All on a half mile stretch of poorly maintained road.

south providence is not the place to go as a tourist.

Providence High School 

Providence High School aka a mental health graveyard. Prov is the place to go if you are in the mood to be depressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. Every single person there hates their life and I don't blame them. If you want to go somewhere to sit and cry go chill in the bathroom but no more than five minutes or else you have a referral. Into panic attacks or anxiety attacks? Don't worry we have plenty of those! So c'mon down to Providence if you want to feel worthless! :))) love it there

Student: "Ok I'm off to hell again!"
Parent: "Ok sweetie have a great day!"
Student"Boy oh boy do I love Providence High School! Time to give up all my rights! Yipee!"

providence college 

A very small, very white, very catholic college in the ghettos of providence. 95% of students are carbon-copies of one another, not that that's a bad thing. they are generally attractive, white, upper middle class, moderately intelligent, with a super-human capacity for alcohol. fake ids are used more than school ids, and every day of the week has its designated drinking locale. oh, and also, there's a pretty decent basketball team.

Where do you go to school?
PC.
BC? Oh, that's a good school.
No, i said PC. Providence College.
Hmm, that's a good time up there, huh? (followed by winking, and nudging with elbow)

Provisionalism 

Pro·vi·sion·al·ism: listening with an open mind, openness to new possibilities.

Thomas Jefferson believed in provisionalism. He argued that because no generation has a right to bind subsequent generations, the Constitution should expire every 19 years.
