Hello! My name is Shannon Keating, and this is my first year at PCS. I’ve been a licensed school social worker for 7 years and have experience in a variety of school settings. I am passionate about building school-family-community relationships, fostering student and family engagement, student and teacher mental health, social justice, and social change. When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, reading, spending time outdoors, making music, and playing with my 4 cats. Thank you for welcoming me to Provident Charter School. I am so excited to work with the wonderful students, families, and staff at PCS!
