Mission Statement and Integral Student Outcomes
Our Mission
Cardinal Newman High School
A Catholic, college preparatory community,
Educating students in the wholeness of body, mind, and soul,
Consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church,
Manifested by faith, leadership and service.
At Cardinal Newman High School, we offer an education that blends academic excellence with a deep commitment to values that transcend the classroom. Inspired by our namesake, Saint John Henry Newman, we embrace our Catholic roots while welcoming families of all faiths to join our community. We understand that families are essential in shaping the spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical, and social growth of our students, and we actively partner with them to support this important work.
Our students are encouraged to cultivate creative and critical thinking skills, alongside a commitment to Christian virtue and a strong sense of social responsibility.
Become part of a community where we nurture future leaders who are grounded in the enduring values of love, truth, and service.
Ready for College, Ready for Life
Our focus on outstanding achievement ensures that our students become knowledgeable and skillful in areas of moral and ethical decision-making, critical thinking, accountability, technology and adaptability. Our co-curricular programs enhance the academic and spiritual dimensions of our school by providing influential activities that foster community, leadership, creativity and sportsmanship.

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.
