Rooftop Revelations: Ronald Reagan’s favorite Chicago School continues to thrive despite the odds
Fox News
On day 73 of his rooftop vigil, Pastor Corey Brooks and Tim Ervin, principal of Providence St. Mel, discuss the school's success.
"Can you just tell us about Providence St. Mel?" the pastor began.
"Providence St. Mel is a private independent school on the West Side of Chicago — used to be a Catholic school," Ervin said. "In 1978, the archdiocese was going to close the school because of low enrollment, but the principal at the time, Mr. Paul J. Adams III, said he was going to keep it open, and he kept it open. He's kept it open now for 44 years as a private independent school."
