    Cardinal Newman High School Reviews

    I am currently a high school senior at Cardinal Newman High School. My senior year will be a year I will remember for the rest of my life, for a couple of reasons. First, in October of 2017, wildfires raged through Santa Rosa and burned down the majority of Cardinal Newman. What not only helped my personal experience with this tragedy but also shocked me was how well the Cardinal Newman community could adapt. Instead of closing school, the community opened off cites for the students where we continued our learning. After three long months, Cardinal Newman's campus was ready to hold the entire student body again. This adaptability of the school, and the care from the faculty towards the students was what turned a horrible tragedy into a life lesson. The strength of Cardinal Newman's community amazed me and allowed for my experience with the school to be great.

    My four years at Cardinal Newman have been great. I was hesitant to try out for sports my freshman year, but the Director of Admissions convinced me it would be a great way to make friends and he was correct. Everyone at Newman is very supportive and welcoming. Teachers are great. Biggest plus at Newman is the community.
    I really like how involved everyone is in making the school better! The teachers, administration, parents and students really care about the school.
