School Notes
We would like to take this opportunity to share a little of
what makes Newman such an extraordinary place. It starts with a
commitment to our mission: to form disciples to lead, love, and
serve.
The focus of our mission is embedded in all aspects of our
school culture. You will see it in the classroom as teachers create
a Christian environment with a focus on individual learning. Our
mission is evident during extra-curricular events as we start with
prayer. It is also apparent in the behavior of our students and
coaches as they compete. More importantly, you will see the mission
alive in our students as they walk our halls or give back to the
community in service.
As a part of the Newman family, students are given both
structure and freedom. The structure needed to guide them on their
path of faith and academic growth. The freedom that allows the
individual to explore who they are in a caring, supportive
atmosphere. Students at Newman benefit from the many opportunities
seen in a larger school, while experiencing the one-to-one approach
of a small school.
For over 50 years, Newman Catholic has provided a strong
foundation in faith and academics.
