The new athletics logo for the Providence Patriots.
A merger between Providence Hall and Santa Barbara Christian School over the summer will be reflected on the playing field as the teams formerly known as the Providence Hall Lions will now be competing as the Providence Patriots.
The changes, complete with a new athletics logo and uniforms, are already in effect heading into the 2013-14 school year. The new school mascot was chosen by students’ suggestions and a community vote.
According to athletic director Keith Luberto, the merger has created excitement at the new school.
“We hired a professional branding company to design our new logo, and they did a great job.? I’ve been having a lot of fun ordering all new uniforms for all of our teams,” stated Luberto
The Patriots, members of the Condor League, will compete in cross country and girls volleyball in the fall, boys and girls basketball in the winter, and boys volleyball and track & field in the spring.?The school’s girls basketball team won a CIF Championship last season in only its third year of CIF competition after finishing runner-up in Division 6 the previous year.
