This page was created by students for students, community members of Proviso Township. Proviso Mathematics and Science Academy (or PMSA) is a magnet high school in Forest Park, Illinois, USA. It is the third and newest school in the Proviso Township High Schools District 209. It serves students in many towns in western Cook County including Forest Park, Broadview, Maywood, Melrose Park, Stone Park
, Hillside, Bellwood, and Westchester among others. PMSA opened its doors to 126 freshmen in 2005. The school is located at the corner of Roosevelt Road and First Avenue (which is also Illinois Route 171 at that location). The academy accepts students through an admissions program including standardized tests, grades, teacher recommendations, and an essay. PMSA's curriculum is informed by that of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. The curriculum focuses on Science, Math, Technology, Arts, and Foreign Languages. PMSA teaches ILASS (Integrated Language Arts And Social Studies). They also teach Physics First, which introduces freshmen to physics before studying chemistry and biology. The school mascot is Monty the Python; school colors are purple and white. As there are no sports facilities at the Academy, students play sports at either Proviso East or Proviso West. PMSA's extra curricular activities include student council, yearbook club, drama club, dance club, anime club, newspaper club, robotics club, Key Club, Go Green club, UPBEAT (the school's Gay-Straight Alliance), peer mediation, book club, chorus, travel club, orchestra, and spoken word club.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of PMSA alum, Malik Thurman (PMSA ‘11). Thurman’s classmates described his as a “kind soul, deep thinker, passionate, and patient leader both in and outside of the classroom.”
Hailing from Bellwood, Ill. Thurman was the star Quarterback of the Proviso West High School Panthers Football program in 2009 and 2010 leading the program to the IHSA playoffs for the first two times in school history. A dynamic student-athlete, he was also a standout leader on Proviso West’s Wrestling program receiving all-state recognition.
We’ll miss Malik and are keeping the Thurman family, who are true pioneers of giving back and helping develop leaders in the Proviso community, in our prayers. 💜🙏🏽
