Mission Statement and Integral Student Outcomes

We believe education is about more than academics—it’s about guiding students on their journey of intellectual, personal, and spiritual growth.

We combine academic excellence with a deep commitment to our founding values. Rooted in our Catholic tradition of faith, leadership, and service—and inspired by Saint John Henry Newman—we welcome families of all faiths to join our community.

Students are encouraged to think creatively and critically, act with integrity, and embrace their responsibility to serve others. We partner closely with families to support each student’s growth in every aspect of life—body, mind, soul.

Our Mission

Cardinal Newman High School
A Catholic, college preparatory community,
Educating students in the wholeness of body, mind, and soul,

Life requires Faith.

At Cardinal Newman, we believe that Christian virtue is cultivated through the study of Scripture and the teachings of the Catholic Church and service. Our faith is not just theoretical but is lived out in everyday experiences. These experiences help our students not only understand the value of a faith-centered life, but the respect for diversity in religion and culture. Our community is guided by Christ to give witness through example.
