History

Located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence, The Prout School was founded in 1966 by the Sisters of the Cross and Passion of Manchester, England and named after Mother Mary Joseph Prout, the order's founder. The school was originally an all female institution called Prout Memorial High School. The campus was built on a 212-acre (0.86 km2) property adjacent to nearby Wakefield (South Kingstown). In 1981, the school became a diocesan high school, and in 1986 it became a co-educational institution and was renamed The Prout School. In 1992, following the 25th anniversary of the school, Prout became the third United States school to become a member of the International Baccalaureate Organization.

Extracurricular activities

Prout has a very large active arts program, including theatre, music, visual arts, and dance. The theatre department puts on a play in the winter and a musical in the fall and spring. The dance, music, and visual arts departments have a joint program every December and June.

In addition to the arts programs, the school also offers many clubs and non-athletic teams including Mock Trial, Robotics, and Math Team. The school's chapter of the Rhode Island Model Legislature has been highly successful in recent years. [ citation needed ] In the 2020–2021 school year (the Seventy-Fourth Rhode Island Model Legislature), the club enjoyed its most successful year, with Michael J. Garman, the leader of the Liberal Party, serving as President of the Senate and Ruth Axford as Senate Conservative Leader.
