Newark Catholic Names Josh Hendershot Head Football Coach

Newark Catholic High School has named alumnus, Josh Hendershot, as Head Football Coach. Hendershot is a former standout lineman at Newark Catholic, where he was named All-Ohio his senior year. He also was a member of the 2007 State Champion Football team. After graduating from Newark Catholic in 2010, Hendershot continued his football career at the University of Toledo. He started thirty-eight straight games on the offensive line and was named 2nd Team All Mid-American Conference as a senior.

 

“Josh is a perfect fit as the head football coach of Newark Catholic,” said Principal Tom Pickering. “His connection to this school and the football program, combined with his passion for playing and teaching the game, made him the perfect choice as we were reviewing the candidates and making a selection.”

 

Hendershot is not new to the Newark Catholic coaching staff; he was an Assistant Coach from June 2015 to December 2016 and before that was the Strength & Conditioning Coach as well as the Offensive Line Coach. In 2017, Hendershot was hired by the University of Toledo as an Offensive Graduate Assistant Coach working in multiple roles through 2018. In 2019, he spent the year with the University of Michigan football program as an Offensive Graduate Assistant working with the Offensive Line. Most recently, Hendershot spent the previous three years at the University of Dayton as the Offensive Coordinator and Offensive Line coach in 2022, and the Run Game Coordinator and Offensive Line coach from 2021-2020.

 

“I am humbled and honored for the opportunity to return home to Newark Catholic High School as head football coach,” said Hendershot. “I would like to thank Principal Tom Pickering, Athletic Director Travis Schwab and the entire hiring committee for believing in me to lead one of the most tradition-rich programs in the entire state of Ohio. I believe in the leaders and the community of Newark Catholic and know that with a team effort, we will hang state championship banners for many years to come. My wife, Michala, and I are excited for our return home to Licking County and can’t wait to get started. Go, Green!”

 
Hendershot holds a M.A. from the University of Toledo and also earned his B.S. from the University of Toledo College of Health and Human Services in 2014.

Significant Grant Awarded by The Catholic Foundation

Newark Catholic is pleased to announce that the Licking County Catholic schools have received a significant grant from the Catholic Foundation to support initiatives to serve students’ diverse needs in our Catholic schools– this means bolstering services and programming for students with different needs as learners at Newark Catholic, Saint Francis DeSales and Blessed Sacrament. Whereas a short time ago, our Catholic schools were limited in the services we could provide to students with exceptionality, our SPICE (special people in Catholic education) board in collaboration with school administration and faculty  have established strong programming and the future is bright. We extend a heartfelt thank you to the Catholic Foundation and all donors who made this grant possible!

Reminder on Return To Play

 

In our ever-changing world of Covid, OHSAA has adopted policies through the Ohio Department of Health that must be followed when an athlete recovering from Covid returns to play.  These policies are very similar to the Concussion protocols Return to Play that was put in place several years ago.  The primary concern that has triggered this Return to Play process is the threat of the development of Myocarditis in people recovering from Covid-19.  The following statement from OHSAA helps to summarize the process that must be completed in order to return to play. We WILL use the OHSAA form for Return to Play.

 

OHSAA Provides School Form for Students Returning to Play from COVID-19

As a reminder, the Ohio Health Director’s Sports Order says that a student-athlete who tests positive for COVID-19, whether symptomatic or asymptomatic, shall not return to sports activities until a documented medical exam is performed clearing the individual prior to the individual returning to participate in practice or games. The exam must specifically include an assessment of the cardiac/heart of high-intensity exercise due to the potential of myocarditis in COVID-19 patients. To assist the membership, the OHSAA has developed a form that schools are welcome to utilize for students who have had the medical exam to verify that the student can or cannot return to practices or games. The OHSAA form is not a requirement, but it is required that a student who has tested positive be evaluated by a physician and cleared in writing before being permitted to return to participation. If a student’s physician is reticent to issue this clearance, please advise parents to seek a second opinion from another physician. This physician is not required to be a cardiologist but could be any qualified physician who is willing to conduct this evaluation. The form is also for use by the student and schools only and is not to be returned to the OHSAA.

COVID-19 PROTOCOL REMINDERS
 
  • When calling your student in ‘absent’ due to an illness that may have “COVID” related symptoms, your student will be required to stay home one additional day after their last absent day (example: if you call your student off on Monday, they cannot return until Wednesday even if they feel fine on Tuesday). This is a precautionary step that we are following along with many other Licking County schools. While students are at home that are able to login to Google Classroom for remote learning.
  • Allergy season is upon us and we are heading into flu season. The symptoms between allergies, flu, and COVID-19 are very similar. Knowing your child’s past medical history will help you determine the best call to action for them.
  • Newark Catholic is continuing to clean all bathrooms between lunch periods and deep clean them in the evening. Split lunches have helped limit exposure and hallway gatherings are virtually non-existent. Classrooms are disinfected during lunch periods along with handrails, light switches, doorknobs, and anything that a student may come in contact with. The entire building is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected every evening

Ohio Department of Health Director’s Order Requiring the Use of Facial Coverings in Child Education Settings

July 17, 2020
We are pleased to announce that Newark Catholic High School students will return to on-campus learning every day for the 2020-2021 school year. We are working on plans to safely bring our students back to our campus that will meet the directives given to us by the Governor’s Office, the Ohio and Licking County Departments of Health, and the Diocese of Columbus. A Fall 2020 Task Force consisting of parents, school advisory board members, faculty, and students have been meeting regularly to focus on specific aspects of our reopening. Over the next few weeks, the Task Force will continue developing plans and strategies for the safe return of on-campus activities for our students. 

 

Below are dates to assist you in preparing for the start of the 2020-2021 school year opening:

 

August 17–21   Faculty Professional Development Days – No Classes

August 24–26 School begins with Mandatory Grade Level Orientation Days (dates and times for each class will be announced in early August)

August 27  All students report for class, regular schedules followed

September 7  Labor Day, No Classes

 

While there are many details yet to be solidified, we are happy to share this information with the Newark Catholic community as we anticipate the new school year. We will share information with you as time moves forward. Please continue to check your daily e-mail, the school’s social media pages, and correspondence from Newark Catholic.

 

Following the closure of school in the spring of 2020, The Reopening Newark Catholic Task Force has created a plan to have students attend school for the 2020-2021 school year. The intent of this plan is that it:

 

1) Prioritizes the safety of the student, teachers, staff, and guests at all times. While on the Newark Catholic campus, students and faculty/staff will follow all safety guidelines during class time, the time between classes; before and after school;

2) Prioritizes that facilities must be cleaned and sanitized on a scheduled basis;

3) Provides procedures that require face masks be worn on the school campus, and three to six feet physical distancing will be practiced throughout the day;

4) Builds a community that comes together to celebrate and grow in our faith.

5) Has students attend school in-person every day on the campus of Newark Catholic High School;

6) Recognizes that the school day supports family life and students need to be in school and engaged in learning;

7) Uses all resources, facilities, and personnel to their fullest;

8) Allows for teaching and learning to continue should school be closed for extended emergencies or calamities.

 

Newark Catholic will continue to build plans that foster a safe and healthy school community before, during, and after possible emergencies. We will continue to abide by and follow all recommendations set by the State of Ohio, local health officials, and the Diocese of Columbus.

It is imperative that all students, staff, families, and volunteers understand that at any point, an event or incident which could cause physical harm, serious physical harm or even death, the safety and wellbeing of all involved supersedes the COVID-19
recommendations and protocols.

Ohio Department of Health Directors Orders that Provides Mandatory Requirements for Youth, Collegiate, Amateur, Club, and Professional Sports

RESPONSIBLE RESTART

 

Ohio High School Athletic Association  The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has presented the OHSAA with a myriad of challenges. The Executive Director’s Office, with support from its Board of Directors and feedback from the Ohio Joint Advisory Committee on Sports Medicine, the National Federation of State High School Associations, and the Ohio Department of Health along with support from the Ohio Lt. Governor’s Office, offer a Return to Play document as recommendations on how our member schools can consider approaching the many components of “opening up” sports with the objective of commencing the fall sports seasons on August 1, 2020. The OHSAA fully intends to support its member schools and the student-athletes who desire to compete in interscholastic athletics and will continue to assess all areas as more information becomes available.

 

The recommendations within the Return to Play document for the resumption of the varsity, non-varsity, and 7th-8th grade interscholastic athletic seasons and participation opportunities have been made with the health, safety, and well-being of all student-athletes in mind.

Faith, Hope, Love – 2020-2021 School Theme


The theological virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love are at the heart of everything we do at Newark Catholic High School. For that reason, we have chosen our theme for this year as Teaching the Faith, Trusting in Hope, Leading with Love.

 
Teaching the Faith: It is our responsibility as teachers and ministers, as parents and coaches, to educate the young men and women of Newark Catholic in the faith of Jesus Christ and His Church. It is through the knowledge of the faith that we can come to give ourselves fully in service to God. Every subject, every club, every sport is an opportunity to give witness to and spread the good news of Jesus Christ.
 
Trusting in Hope: God is in control. For that reason, we can trust in the fact that we are made for more than this world can offer. In Him we find our joy, our peace. It is that joy and peace in our hearts that should inspire every member of the Newark Catholic community to bring about God’s kingdom here on earth, no matter the circumstances.
 
Leading with Love: St. Thomas Aquinas said that love is “willing the good of the other.” Christ demonstrated this in His death on the Cross. In willing the good of the other, we see sacrificial love. That is how we are called to lead, now and into the future.

May our leadership reflect the compassion, patience, and understanding that our loving God has for us every moment of our lives.

ACTIVATION PLAN FOR REOPENING 2020-2021

It is with gratitude to our Task Force, that we release to you the Activation Plan for reopening this fall. Please review this with your student and feel free to contact Miss Hill with any questions or concerns. This is a living document, subject to change at any time. 
 
We will continue communication through our Wednesday Wave as the year progresses. We are excited to see our students as they come to campus in just a few short weeks.
 
The intent of the Activation Plan is that it:
 
1) Prioritizes the safety of the student, teachers, staff, and guests at all times. While on the Newark Catholic campus, students and faculty/staff will follow all safety guidelines during class time, the time between classes; before and after school;
2) Prioritizes that facilities must be cleaned and sanitized on a scheduled basis;
3) Provides procedures that require face masks be worn on the school campus, and three to six feet physical distancing will be practiced throughout the day;
4) Builds a community that comes together to celebrate and grow in our faith.
5) Has students attend school in-person every day on the campus of Newark Catholic High School;
6) Recognizes that the school day supports family life and students need to be in school and engaged in learning;
7) Uses all resources, facilities, and personnel to their fullest;
8) Allows for teaching and learning to continue should school be closed for extended emergencies or calamities.
 
ACTIVATION PLAN FOR REOPENING 2020-2021
 
Newark Catholic will continue to build plans that foster a safe and healthy school community before, during, and after possible emergencies. We will continue to abide by and follow all recommendations set by the State of Ohio, local health officials, and the Diocese of Columbus.
 
It is imperative that all students, staff, families, and volunteers understand that at any point, an event or incident which could cause physical harm, serious physical harm, or even death, the safety and wellbeing of all involved supersedes the COVID-19 recommendations and protocols.

Day of Prayer and Fasting for an End to Racism – June 9, 2020

Bishop Brennan is calling for a Day of Prayer and Fasting for an End to Racism and to Foster Healing in Our Community this Tuesday, June 9, 2020.
 
He will offer one of the Votive Masses for Peace and Justice at the 12:05 Mass at the Cathedral which will be live-streamed and broadcast on St. Gabriel Radio. He will also pray the rosary on St. Gabriel immediately after the Mass using the Rosary to End Racism Prayers. The Rosary is attached to this posting.
 
In 1997, Bishop Griffin wrote a beautiful pastoral letter on racism titled, “Racism: A Tarnished Reflection of Ourselves.” The message is a powerful statement of our beliefs as a Church. It can be viewed here.
 

Garrett McCarthy earns distinguished Eagle Scout Award

 
A HUGE shoutout to Garrett McCarthy on his achievement of Eagle Scout! Garrett is a member of the Newark Catholic graduating class of 2020 and plans to attend Ohio Northern University to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
 
Since 1912, the Eagle Scout rank has represented a milestone of accomplishment—perhaps without equal—that is recognized across the country and even the world. Those who have earned the Eagle Scout rank count it among their most treasured achievements. “Eagle Scout” is not just an award; it is a state of being. Those who earned it as youth continue to earn it every day as adults. That is why an Eagle Scout IS an Eagle Scout
—not was.

 

We are excited to celebrate Newark Catholic High School Class of 2020 Virtual Graduation.

 

We encourage you to join us on Sunday, May 31 at 2 PM for a Virtual Graduation Ceremony. Please share the link below with family and friends

NCHS Athletic Updates:

Wednesday, April 8

Per Nationwide Children’s Hospital — Governor DeWine’s most recent STAY AT HOME order that extends to May 1st along with Dr. Acton’s indications that Coronavirus peak is likely to hit in early-mid May make it appropriate for the safety of our athletes and our community to cancel all Sports Physicals currently scheduled in May and early June. Although we are hopeful we will be able to reschedule the Physicals sometime in late summer, the course of the virus is unknown. The directives of the Governor, Dr. Acton, and Nationwide Children’s Hospital will be our guiding influence. We would like to stay in open discussions with you, and review in mid- May the best plan moving forward for this year’s Physicals. Thank you for your understanding of the need to cancel them at this time. ~Meredith Koehler, MS, ATC, AT, Nationwide Children’s Hospital Sports Medicine

 

Spring sports at Newark Catholic High School have been suspended indefinitely. No games or practices are allowed. The affected programs are baseball, softball, and track & field. When further athletic updates are available, they will be posted here.

Parade for Class of 2020 Graduates

Parade for NC 2020 Graduates Sunday, May 31 at 5:00 pm

The vehicle parade route will begin on 26th street at 5:00 (facing north) escorted by Newark Police Department.  The police lead car will escort the participating community right onto Church Street, then right onto Green Wave Drive.  It is important to yield for traffic on Church Street-please be careful.  The police car will park at the light-blocking any other traffic turning onto Green Wave Drive.  Parade cars can wave, honk, and decorate signs to celebrate graduating seniors.  Safety is of the utmost importance.  At no time should any cars stop unless it’s necessary for the flow of traffic, and no one will exit vehicles at any time.  Adequately spaced, slow, steady pace of parade vehicles is the goal.  NC is proud of its 2020 graduates.  Thank you for celebrating their hard work and many achievements!

 

Seniors– We are excited to celebrate you!  Arrive at NC no later than 4:45 when you will be led in prayer. Feel free to decorate your cars, park in the front spaces in the parking lot facing Green Wave Dr.  Please wear your cap and gown with tassel to the right side.  You are welcome to stand along Green Wave Drive in an every-other sidewalk square (or at least 6 feet distance), and your immediate family members (parents and siblings only) may stand or sit directly behind you. Parents, please park on the opposite side of Green Wave Drive, as you would for any event when the parking lot is full.  As cars parade around to celebrate you, safety is very important.  Please refrain from crossing the grassy area in front of the sidewalk.  We want everyone to be able to enjoy without incident.  It is very important that social distancing guidelines are followed.  You will have your moment to be together as a class and celebrate Monday evening at dinner.  Upon exit of the last car, immediate family members are invited to walk across to the opposite side of the street, facing their graduate to get their cameras ready.  At this time, graduates will all be instructed to move their cap tassels together to the left, then instructed to gently toss their caps in the air.  Please enjoy what is to be a beautiful evening.  We are so happy to congratulate each and every one of you on a job well done!

 

June 2 and 3 will be our Diploma Pick-up Days with an optional Cap and Gown picture in the gym. In order to abide by the Governor’s directives, we have placed each senior and their family in a group to ensure social distancing. The following date and time are when each family should arrive:

Your diploma inside a Newark Catholic cover will also be given to you upon entering the building.

Mrs. Wing and Mrs. Weisent will be our photographers that day but any of the 4 family members are welcome to take pictures too.

Intercession and Protection of Our Lady – May 1, 2020

 



The month of May is traditionally set aside to honor the special role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the life of the Church. In light of the global pandemic sweeping our world, the month will begin in a very special way. The Bishops of the United States in conjunction with the Bishops of Canada have made a collaborative decision to re-consecrate both countries to the intercession and protection of Our Lady under the title of Mary, Mother of the Church on Friday, May 1st at 3 PM EDT.

 

As Archbishop Gomez, the President of the USCCB noted: “This will give the Church the occasion to pray for Our Lady’s continued protection of the vulnerable, healing of the unwell, and wisdom for those who work to cure this terrible virus.”

 

This event will be aired live on the EWTN Television Network (check listings for appropriate cable channel), the EWTN Facebook page, or on St. Gabriel Radio, (AM 820, Columbus; FM 88.3 Portsmouth).

But we are discussing possible option dates to host our auction in mid-summer or early fall. Like you, we are waiting for news from Governor DeWine about the return to work status. We also must have the blessing of Bishop Brennan in order to host this and any event for Newark Catholic. Once we have their approval we will communicate auction details to you.
 
For those of you who have donated, we will be using your gift as planned unless you request we return your donation. For those of you who have purchased tickets, we will hold them for the event unless you request that you would like to be reimbursed at this time. For those of you who would still like to donate or purchase a ticket, we will be in touch as soon as we know the exact date for you to do so. Please email me, at bhill@newarkcatholic.org with any questions or concerns.
 
We will all need to gather in celebration once this time in history is over, what better place to do so then with your friends and family at NCHS. Check this website often for updates about the Auction and all school events that will be posted as quickly as possible.
 
Again, thank you for all you continue to do for our Newark Catholic Community. Please keep us in your prayers as you will remain in ours.
 
May the Lord bless you and keep you close during this time and always.
 
Miss Beth Hill, Principal

Ohio EdChoice Scholarship Program

 

In November of this year, the Ohio Department of Education released a list of underperforming designated Ohio Schools for the 2020-2021 school year. There are several Licking County high schools on the list, among those are Newark City High School, Johnstown High School, Lakewood High School, and Utica High School. You can see the full list of all Licking County schools here. The state-funded Education Choice Scholarship Program (EdChoice) provides opportunities for Ohio students who are assigned to underperforming schools to attend a participating private school with significant financial assistance.

 

If your student is currently enrolled at Newark Catholic, and would otherwise be assigned to attend one of the public schools listed above, he/she qualifies for the Ohio EdChoice Scholarship. The scholarship grants up to $6000 toward their private school tuition. The actual scholarship amount will be either the maximum scholarship amount or the tuition amount charged by the private school, whichever is less. This is not a need-based scholarship.

 

The maximum scholarship amount is currently $6,000 for grades 9-12. Remember, your student may be eligible based on their designated public school district in which you live and is not based on need. The application period opens February 1, 2020, and closes on April 15, 2020.

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY

The EdChoice Program has two portions: the scholarship program and the expansion/income-based program. 

The Educational Choice (EdChoice) Scholarship Program offers students in grades K – 12 the chance to attend a private school for little or no cost. Students from lower-rated (designated) public schools qualify for these scholarships.

The EdChoice Expansion Program is an income-based program. It offers private school scholarships to students whose families have a lower income.

The program provides up to 60,000 EdChoice scholarships to eligible students. If you qualify, the state of Ohio will pay for your tuition to attend Newark Catholic. We encourage all families to follow the steps below to sign up for this wonderful opportunity.

The application period opens February 1st and the deadline for submitting is April 30th

  • If your child is already enrolled in Newark Catholic, you will need to complete a Scholarship Request Form, along with your proof of current address and your child’s birth certificate.
  • Newark Catholic will submit an EdChoice application for your child through the ODE online secure application system, ONLY available to the school and not the parents.
  • This is not a need-based scholarship, however, if your family does want to apply for additional money due to financial hardship, please check the Federal Poverty Guidelines here: EdChoice Expansion Income Chart (pdf) to determine whether you meet the income requirements for your household size and you want your income verified to determine if you qualify for low-income status. [Note: Families applying for an expansion scholarship MUST have their income verified; it is NOT optional.]. Complete the Income Verification Form, gather all supporting income documents (see the list on the form), and mail to the address listed on the form by the listed deadline.
  • It is also important to still fill out the FACTS form through the Diocese.

 

EDCHOICE STUDENT APPLICATION SYSTEM WILL OPEN FEBRUARY 1, 2020


If your child meets the eligibility requirements for the scholarship and you have chosen a provider school, please follow the steps below to apply for the scholarship:

Apply for Scholarship

  1. Once your child has been accepted by the private school, the private school will have you complete a Scholarship Request Form, along with your proof of current address and your child’s birth certificate, to the private school.
  2. The private school will submit an EdChoice application for your child through the online secure application system, ONLY available to the private school.
  3. Check the Federal Poverty Guidelines to determine if you meet the income requirements for your household size and you want your income verified to determine if you qualify for low-income status.  [Note: Families applying for an expansion scholarship MUST have their income verified; it is NOT optional.]
  4. Obtain a copy of the Income Verification Form BELOW or from the private school where you applied. Complete the Income Verification Form, gather all supporting income documents (see the list on the form), and mail to the address listed on the form by the listed deadline.

Edward Jewett – National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalist

Newark Catholic senior, Edward Jewett was announced as a semi-finalist last week by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Approximately 16,000 Semifinalists in the 65th annual National Merit Scholarship Program were named. 

 

Over 1.5 million juniors in about 21,000 high schools entered the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2018 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of Semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. The number of Semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.

 

Students will have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,600 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that will be offered next spring. Over 90 percent of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and about half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar® title.

College Credit Plus 2019-2020 Informational Meeting

There will be a meeting to learn about NC’s College Credit Plus Program for the 2019-2020 school year on Wednesday, January 30 at 7:00 pm in the cafeteria.  Mrs. Welch will be presenting the benefits and potential risks, available courses and colleges, as well as the paperwork needed to participate.  Local college reps will also attend so you can talk to them about their courses and application process.  This program expects that the students are the driving force behind their participation, not the parent, and students are treated as college students by the colleges.

 

We ask that all interested students attend with a parent to ensure that you have a clear understanding of the program.  Students participating in the program are now required to attend a counseling session with their parent about CCP, and attending the informational meeting satisfies this requirement.  If you are unable to attend, students and a parent will need to schedule a meeting with the counselor to discuss their participation in the program.

 

CCP is a program that allows students to take college courses while in high school, earning dual high school and college credit for each course.  Students apply to the college(s), send paperwork to the state to demonstrate their intent to participate in the program, and apply for the funding.  Students who complete the entire process can earn free tuition for the classes (paid by the state) and free textbooks (paid for by NC).  Currently, NC offers Introduction to Psychology and Composition I on our campus during the school day, or students can take on-campus or online courses from a variety of participating schools.

 

We look forward to seeing you on the 30th.

#igivecatholic Giving Tuesday to support Newark Catholic

We know that, for Catholics, generosity and giving have a profound meaning. As children of God, giving is the ultimate expression of mercy as we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, give shelter to the homeless, and preserve our Catholic heritage for future generations. Compelled to action by our shared faith, Catholics are energized to give back knowing that little is much when God is in it.

National Day of Giving to Catholic Schools

 

 

 

 

 

National Day of Giving to Catholic Schools starts today and lasts for 24 hours…if you would like to give to Newark Catholic today, please follow this link.

 

Twenty years ago, Saint Pope John Paul II said to an audience of Catholic educators in New Orleans: “Yours is a great gift to the Church, a great gift to your nation.”

Countless people in our country have been blessed by the many gifts of Catholic schools. However, many adults have lost touch with their local Catholic school community. It is time for those people who have been impacted by your school to reconnect with the community that gave them so much, and give back.

With this recognition in mind, the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) is pleased to present the online giving campaign: Many Gifts, One Nation: A Day of Giving to Catholic Schools. Make your gift to a Catholic school today!

This day is made possible with the generous support of FACTS Management.

 

Thank you for all you do for our school.

College Credit Plus Night – Feb. 2 @6PM

CCP logoCollege Credit Plus Information Night will be held on Thursday, February 2, 2017 at 6 pm in the school cafeteria.  Mrs. Welch will be covering the process to apply for admission to CCP, funding available to cover the coursework, the benefits and risks that come with this program, and the choices available to students.  Several area colleges will be available to discuss their CCP offerings.

 

College Credit Plus is a program open to students grades 7-12 that allows for dual credit.  Students can take college courses, earn both high school and college credit for the work, and be fully funded for the work (some conditions apply).  Currently, we have students taking Psychology and Composition I in our building, taught by COTC professors through CCP.  Additionally, we have students taking online courses that are available through Ohio colleges, and students have the opportunity to take coursework on the college campuses during the summer, fall, or spring semesters.

 

ANY STUDENTS that are considering taking courses through this path need to attend with a parent.  One of the difficult challenges of this program is the higher level of responsibility put on the student, both within the class and in navigating college.  It is important that students understand their responsibility in the program.

 

We look forward to seeing you there!

NC Open House and Senior Guidance – Sept. 14

Newark Catholic will be hosting our annual open house on Wednesday, September 14, from 6-7 pm.  Parents are invited to walk the building, view our classrooms and labs, meet teachers, and view the resources used in the classrooms.  Teachers will be stationed throughout the building by department, and classrooms will be open for you to tour.  Sophomore and Junior parents can stop by the cafeteria to pick up the spring scores from the state End-of-Course exams and talk to the guidance staff about any questions you have about testing.

 

Immediately after the open house, senior guidance night will be held in the cafeteria.  Mrs. Welch will begin at 7 pm with information on college applications, scholarships, graduation requirements, and preparing your son or daughter to transition to the next stage of their life.  Misty Amacher, a financial aid representative from OSU/COTC, will follow with a presentation about applying for financial aid and the new FAFSA process.  The FAFSA opens in October and the process is new this year, so this is an important piece to affording college – we recommend all senior parents attend.  We expect to be done around 8:30 pm.  Contact Mrs. Welch with questions (dwelch@laca.org)

Green Wave Baseball wins 9th baseball state title!

The 2016 Green Wave baseball team won a ninth state title overall, a seventh since 2002 and a second straight over Triad at Huntington Park in June.

 

Newark Catholic caught a man in a rundown for the final out, in the wind and the rain, to claim its third in four years.  

 

The Green Wave broke a state record for stolen bases – regardless of division – with 11 and reached nine times by either walk or being hit by a pitch and persevered for a 5-4 win over North Lewisburg Triad for the Division IV title.

 

It was an emotional post-game ceremony as recent graduate Christine Joyce and sophomore sister Victoria shook the players’ hands as the received their medals.

 

The team dedicated the season to their mother Joyce, who died in April from Lou Gehrig’s Disease. The student body and baseball team in particular wore bright green    t-shirts with the phrase “ Strike out ALS.’’

Robotics Team wins Rookie Inspiration Award!

DSC_0006The newly formed Newark Catholic Robotics team participated in it’s first competition this past weekend and despite having little to no experience in what to expect, they walked away with some hardware! They were awarded the Rookie Inspiration Award! Overall ended 21st out of 61 teams with a win-loss record of 5-4.

 
The team consists of 8 students with the youngest being a 7th grader and was led and supervised Mr. Russ Nelson (Math and Physics teacher), Mrs. Tess Wiggington (English and Media Communications teacher), Byron Bemis (parent volunteer). The NC Robotics Club was formed last fall and they quickly decided to enter their first competition in Cleveland this past weekend. They gained many valuable insights and learned what to do and not to do as they plan for next year’s competition. Their entire robot was built from donated parts and travel was made possible through monetary contributions from a variety of Newark Catholic supporters and families. The Robotics Team plans to hold a Lego Mindstorm camp this summer to teach young children the programming and engineering skills.

Monica Wright ’01 Grad ~ Most successful women’s volleyball coach in Otterbein University’s history.

CaptureMany coaches turn their high school sport into a career. Monica Wright, 2001 NC grad has gone a step further, becoming the most successful women’s volleyball coach in Otterbein University’s history.

 

ThisWeek Newspapers recently published an article on Monica’s journey. She is quoted in the article as saying “Newark Catholic in and of itself has a culture of discipline, a culture of winning and I think it keeps young kids interested and motivated,” Wright says. “The success is addictive maybe, so I attribute it to the intensity of the programs we grew up with. That’s when more of the focus (in girls volleyball) was on high school than on club. Most of my love of the game came through high school athletics.” Continue reading full article here.
