Mission Statement
Newark Catholic High School is committed to offering students an environment for growing in their Catholic Faith, expanding their knowledge, and extending their talents in service to others. Rich in tradition, yet sensitive to change, Newark Catholic High School is devoted to educating its students to become sensitive, capable, responsible members of their families, church, community, nation, and world. [1]
The Newark Catholic 'No Namers'
Newark Catholic High School exists in the shadow of a somewhat notorious group of wealthy contributors who call themselves 'The No Namers'. The group has existed since the early days of the schools foundation and donate large sums of money to the school in exchange for the majority say of what goes on in the school politically. In 2000 the No Namers became a house hold name among students and parents after the firing of football coach Jeff Buchanen. The No Namers elected Bill Franks as the new football coach but not before offering him a large incentive. The organization paid off Franks house payment and bought him a new truck in order to 'welcome' him as the new coach. If by coincidence, Bill Franks is also the cousin of principal Beth Hill.
Further evidence of the No Namers power can be seen in the renovation projects scheduled to begin in 2009. The school will be removing the monastery which is no longer in use in order to build a new wing in its place. 'Sophomore Hall' will be converted to offices for the coaches and free up room to expand the weight room.
Academics always take the back burner to the schools large sports tradition. It is widely known that athletes are given privilege over others in terms of academic eligibility and general rules. The Community has commented several times on the manner in which referees overseeing Newark Catholic football games receive 'bribes' in exchange for calls in favor of Newark Catholic. [2]
