News & Announcements

From October 6- 10, ten students from our Senior Class traveled to Block Island to participate in the Block Island Maritime Institute's (BIMI) educational programs. There was an application process in order to determine the 10 students who were able to participate in this experience. Students needed to answer questions such as: What leadership skills do you bring to this group and what Educational Learning Design Principles will you demonstrate during this learning experience? Students, along with two TGS teacher chaperones, stayed on Block Island and expenses were paid by BIMI's sponsors. Please click the link above to read more about this wonderful opportunity and check out the pictures from the trip.

The Greene School is very thankful to our Head of School, Joshua Laplante, for his dedicated leadership over the past 9 years. Josh was hired in 2015 after a very thorough search by the Board of Directors and our stakeholders. Joshua Laplante is a champion for students, committed to their success and learning every single day. He is dedicated to the environmental mission of The Greene School and has used his time as the Head of School to create a learning environment rich in opportunities for students.
Josh has been instrumental in developing the AP program and dual enrollment program at TGS, as well the work ready program. He has forged strong relations with environmental groups in Rhode Island, and has developed our upcoming Environmental Engineering CTE program. He has strengthened TGS in so many ways, earning us the recognition of being the top charter high school in Rhode Island ( Niche ratings).
We will miss his intelligence, compassion, dedication, and vision as he goes on to join the Rhode Island Education Collective. We know he remains dedicated to the success of The Greene School and expect he will come by occasionally.
The Board of Directors has assembled a search committee for our next leader and will have an announcement later this month.
