Children experiencing foster care or housing instability have the right to educational stability. Please contact Shannon Keating at PCS Central to discuss educational stability options for your family.
Hello! My name is Shannon Keating, and this is my first year at PCS. I’ve been a licensed school social worker for 7 years and have experience in a variety of school settings. I am passionate about building school-family-community relationships, fostering student and family engagement, student and teacher mental health, social justice, and social change. When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, reading, spending time outdoors, making music, and playing with my 4 cats. Thank you for welcoming me to Provident Charter School. I am so excited to work with the wonderful students, families, and staff at PCS!
