Hello TPS family! I’m beyond excited to join The Providence School community this year! I bring 6 years of experience in education working with students in grades 7 and beyond across diverse settings, including collegiate, alternative, and technical/career education.
I love new adventures, which made making the move from New York to Kentucky to join the TPS crew an easy 'yes!' When I’m not teaching or traveling, I’m usually hanging out with my little pup, Jack Jack. I can't wait for a fantastic year ahead!🐾📚

Hi everyone. My name is David Beaty and I am honored to be the new assistant principal at The Providence School!
I have taught science, technology auto mechanics and worked as a director of technology and assistant principal in elementary, middle and high schools.
My wife is also a teacher and together with our family we have lived and worked in five countries outside the United States. But I was born and raised in Jessamine County!
I strongly believe we are all capable of far more than we realize. I’m excited to push our boundaries, grow, and learn together this year!

Hi everyone! My name is Leslie Young, and I am so excited to join the Providence team! After 8 years with the district, I am excited to start this new adventure and get to know everyone! I have been happily married to my husband, Robert, for 25 years, and we have three kids: Chase (23), Hunter (21), and Mylie (18). When I’m not at work, you can usually find me planning my next Disney trip, spending time with my family, or hanging out with my three dogs, Rosie, Rocky, and Max!
Let's start introducing some of our new staff at TPS this year!
