Rich Athletics Tradition
The Newark Catholic Athletic Organization (NCAA) is a group of dedicated and hard working parents, teachers, alumni, and community supporters who help Newark Catholic achieve the unique position of having a self-supported athletic program, not funded by tuition. These members are proud of the student athletes and are dedicated to helping Newark Catholic continue its tradition of excellence in athletics, helping to round out the student experience at NC.
We are always seeking new members. If you’d like to attend monthly meetings and help in athletic efforts, or would like to contact the athletics organization, Email: ncaa@newarkcatholic.org.
