PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Laura Held - A New Chapter for Cardinal Newman Dear Cardinal Newman High School Community, Modernizing, updating educational facilities, and making a capital investment for student learning is well underway at Cardinal Newman High School!

As you enter the center of campus you now find a walkway leading you to the newly-built St. Angela Merici Science Center. This extraordinary new center is the first project in Phase I of the Cardinal Newman Master Plan for campus improvements. The building reflects our proud history and tradition, our dynamic presence and approach for a very exciting future. This campus change adds to the student preparation for the rigors of college, but also for the challenges of adulthood in the 21st century. Science Department Chairperson, Mr. Dennis Bruno, enthusiastically states “this new facility opens the door for our ability to provide learning experiences that prepare students to work in jobs and careers that might not even exist today”.

We are blessed with this new Science Center due primarily to the generosity of the Ernest L & Ruth Finley Foundation.

President of the Finley Foundation, Norma Person, has generously ensured the school’s commitment to move forward toward the further integration of science, technology, engineering and math. The Science Center is named after St. Angela Merici, foundress and sponsor for the Ursuline Sisters and namesake for Ursuline High School. While St. Angela was a practical woman, she grew to be a visionary, seeking a desire to educate young people.

As a former Ursuline educator, Norma Person granted the naming of the building as a way to honor and memorialize St. Angela’s work ensuring that young people take advantage of a Catholic education. During one of our last visits while walking around the building construction site, Norma beamed with enormous pride telling me that “it would be wonderful to return to Cardinal Newman when the project was finished”, allowing her to “see students in the Science Center fully-engaged in their learning experience.”

Physics Teacher, Thomas J. (TJ) McMahon, Class of 1990, states “The new Physics lab allows for a more flexible learning lab experience while promoting more student engagement. The new state-of-the-art promethean boards will allow us to broaden our instruction while creating a truly engaging learning experience for our students”.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) jobs are growing at 1.7 times the rate of non-STEM careers, and the U.S. is simply not producing enough candidates to fill them. Cardinal Newman is working to develop a STEM program that will allow our students to compete for and be successful in these new careers. The new Science Center helps to bring this curricular goal to fruition.

We remain most grateful to all of our community members for the enormous support and participation in advancing our educational efforts for our young women and men.

Most Sincerely, Laura M. Held, President

PRINCIPALLY SPEAKING Graham Rutherford Our Spring came after strong rains replenished and revived our campus, bursting out in new growth and color. The same could be said for students, many of whom blossomed in class and improved as they learned. Going into Easter break, we tried to add to their education with a strong “Every 15 Minutes” presentation over two days. This program, sponsored by the CHP, helps remind us that driving under the influence or while distracted is a killer and maimer that remains a scourge of our streets. The staged accident on Old Redwood Highway at the gym intersection was a gruesome portrayal that added to the reality of the work that fire and medical rescue showed. The helicopter landing quickly and heading out even quicker added a surreal feeling; is this really happening? As the students went back to class, the images were difficult to ignore. At the Assembly the next day, the video of the crash, with the background story, told a tale of mistakes made and unintentional consequences. The production, the work of Dave Cox, class of ’78, and Jim Rael, alum parent, gave stronger reinforcement to the images of the day before with the reality of where people go when hurt or killed, and the difficulty inflicted on their parents.

Several speakers explained what they had been through and how their loved ones were hurt, especially moving were the letters read by students and parents written the night before at separate meetings when they were asked to compose what they would say had they died. From my experience as a student and a teacher, losing friends and students I have taught, the painful reality is magnified and deeply inserted within my being. We love our children, our students, our family members; by vicarious education we hope to learn what we want never to have to endure. This is our school view and statement; don’t drive drunk or distracted, lives are at stake.

Following such a moving two days, the last day of school on Holy Thursday was our “Washing of the Feet” day of community service. Thanks to Mrs. Del Monte’s organization of service opportunities, we spread out throughout the county and gave hours of work to individuals and organizations in need. We are called to serve others; this day is an attempt to teach the values and let students feel what it is to give. From the many thank yous received, the day was successful again and we were able to begin our time off knowing we had helped others. This year there was one more special event though, on Holy Saturday, to attend in Sacramento, the California State basketball championships.

At 10am on March 26th, the Cardinals Women’s Varsity played Antelope Valley of Lancaster, Southern winners, in a thrilling game that saw leads change, tight defense, and an amazing finish when the Antelopes last shot was blocked on a drive, preserving a 39-37 victory. With that, our girls became the first State champions in school history and only the fifth Sonoma County team to claim a title. They will look to return next year as their program grows stronger, but Coach Monica Mertle and team have time to savour the results of a season-long effort where they finished amongst the top schools in the State. Being at the Arena with many fans was a special day; watching a poised team not stray from their goal was a lesson in persistence and focus. They withstood the pressures of the moment, and as a team met their hopes and dream, bringing back hardware on display in the main hall now. Their banner will hang in gold and red next to previous NorCal champions in the gym yet will be that bit brighter for claiming the California State Division IV title. Go Cardinals!

USE OF TECHNOLOGY ON CAMPUS

by SheriAnn Simpson

There have been many exciting innovations to enhance our technology at Cardinal Newman. The IT Department has worked diligently to upgrade the entire campus to a greatly-expanded networking system.

Having maximum speed and capacity at Cardinal Newman allows us to serve our entire school community quicker and more efficiently than ever before.

We started the academic year with the commitment to a 1:1 laptop/tablet program. We are looking forward to the school adding to the tools available for use: each faculty member and counselor will have a laptop for the classroom, the office, anywhere on campus, and to take home. Distribution has already begun and will be fully-implemented by June, in anticipation of the 2016-17 academic year. Having a new Learning Management System (an LMS we call “The Nest”) allows us to be connected for the smooth delivery of all of our 1:1 teaching and learning needs on campus and remotely.

Our new St. Angela Merici Science Center is open and in use. The center is equipped with Vernier LabQuest 2 and Go Wireless Links. All of our new Vernier interfaces will be able to communicate wirelessly with student and teacher devices on a variety of platforms. The new classrooms will also be equipped with 70” video-based interactive Promethean Boards, capable of projecting multiple collaborative activities at once, all utilizing ClassFlow Connect. The lab will also house several new 3-D printers for use by future Engineering students, as well as Art students in the coming years.

New tech equipment and systems will take the science classes from teacher-centric to learnerfocused in the new, state-of-the-art Science building. Physics teacher T.J. McMahon feels a big advantage of the new tech equipment is the ability for students to record data in class and then later work on it collaboratively from home. This is a very exciting innovation for Cardinal Newman as we continue to upgrade the student experience on campus. We are fortunate that we have innovative teachers who give so much of their time to these improvements.

FUND A FUTURE 1ST ANNUAL BREAKFAST SUPPORTING TUITION ASSISTANCE AT CARDINAL NEWMAN As we position ourselves to respond to the increasing need for financial assistance for our families and those who seek a Cardinal Newman Catholic education, we have implemented an annual event which focuses on our stories of financial support from our community and the impact we are having and hope to have in the future. The 1st Annual Fund A Future Breakfast marks the beginning of a campaign with specific goals to raise the much needed funds.

During the 2015-16 school year, we received requests for financial support from over 200 families who asked for over $1.8M in tuition assistance. We were able to grant $715,000 to 164 families who would otherwise not have been able to attend Cardinal Newman. Our goal is to grow our tuition assistance fund so that we can more effectively provide the needed support for families. Supporting a student in need is a wonderful way to give back to the Cardinal Newman community.

Community-Based Service Learning International Service Trips 2015-16 THIS YEAR MANY SENIORS HAVE TAKEN ON THE CHALLENGE OF CREATING SERVICE PROJECTS THAT WOULD INVOLVE INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL. ALTHOUGH LOCAL SERVICE PROJECTS HOLD SPECIAL VALUE, INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL FOR SERVICE WORK ALSO HELPS TO OPEN MINDS AND DEVELOP AN APPRECIATION FOR THE CONVENIENCES AND OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE IN THE UNITED STATES.

SUMMER 2015 Elliott Goldberg traveled to Ecuador along with his mentor and club lacrosse team. The group connected with the local community through the game of lacrosse. They helped establish a youth team and held multiple clinics. Elliott has continued his work locally by providing less-fortunate children of Sonoma County an opportunity to play lacrosse. Elliott has also collected and donated lacrosse gear to help outfit these children.

OCTOBER 2015 Sophie Johnson traveled to her native country, Guatemala, where she participated in serving a local community providing environmentally-safe ovens for home use. In addition, Sophie educated the local communities of Guatemala about the safety measures that need to be taken when using these environmentally-safe ovens.

DECEMBER 2015 Roisin Lafferty traveled to her native Ireland and continued working on Trad for Trรณcaire, which is a music program that raises money for countries struggling with poverty. The program inspires youth and adults to take leadership through musical traditions where performances raise awareness of poverty and generate funds for programs addressing poverty.

Walker Granzotto and Emily Pham traveled, along with Mr. Jeff Scharfen, the Pham Family, and CN graduates Forrest Granzotto and James Scharfen. During their travels, the group volunteered at various orphanages and offered donations to the local communities. They visited and volunteered at schools for the blind and deaf, as well as those who service children with special needs.

MARCH 2016 Holly de Lambert traveled to Guatemala, along with her father and several other Sonoma County firefighters. The group donated thousands of dollars in medical supplies and trained a local community of Guatemalan Fire and Rescue personnel in emergency preparedness, according to our local Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program.

Lexy Allen, Megan Cannon, Lilly Scholz, Karinna Madriz, Jack Stafford and Sam Hodes traveled to India with their mentor, Valerie Kumra, and her family (founder of LoveManifest). The group visited and volunteered at various sites they studied about and raised funds for back in the fall semester. The group was able to provide multiple water wells, supported orphanages and the LoveManifest School, and provided other community services. They finally were able to meet the children whom they began praying for months ago.

Inspired by her work with first grade English Language Learners at Mattie Washburn, Joanna “Joey” Hurwitz traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico over Easter Break to help the Baacanda Foundation. While there, Joey worked alongside locals to help construct a small school in the hillsides of Oaxaca. The former structure was a simple shack-like building, while the new structure was made of clay brick. This new structure will serve the needs of the local children very well.

EASTER BREAK 2016 Eric Palmer and Reed Palmer traveled to the Dominican Republic where they continued their service work at Doña Chuca and Alta Gracia orphanages. Eric and Reed raised a tremendous amount of awareness and money for the young girls, women, and religious sisters of these orphanages. Their efforts have provided both educational and occupational opportunities for the young girls and women living in these orphanages.

Cardinal Newman High School students, parents, and a teacher, along with the support from the Seeds of Learning organization, traveled to Nicaragua where they continued annual service work helping with the construction of classrooms and providing cultural activities for the children. In addition, the group was able to collect donations and take them down to the local communities of Nicaragua. Congratulations to the following: Sophia Bertero, Elizabeth Blash-Green (Parent), Brian Clements (Parent), Lauren Clements, Elena Fanucchi, Kevin Flanagan (Senior Leader), Mary Geib, Ryan Golden, Liam Green (Senior Leader), Taylor Hextrum, Alex Johnson, Alick (Albert) Khapenkov, Jack Killeen (CN Teacher), Madison Latham, Faith Lee, Christopher Musser-Kirby, Ashley Stewart, Matt Van Prooyen (Senior Leader), and Katherine West.

STUDENT LIFE

EVERY 15 MINUTES Life’s lessons are best learned through experience. Unfortunately, when the target audience is teens and the topic is drinking and texting while driving, experience is not the teacher of choice.

The Every 15 Minutes Program offers real-life experience without the reallife risks. This emotionallycharged program, entitled Every 15 Minutes, is an event designed to dramatically instill teenagers with the potentially dangerous consequences of drinking alcohol and texting while driving. This powerful program will challenge students to think about drinking, texting while driving, personal safety, and the responsibility of making mature decisions when lives are involved.

During the first day’s events, the “Grim Reaper” called students who had been selected from a crosssection of the entire student body out of class. One student was removed from class every 15 minutes. A police officer immediately entered the classroom and read an obituary which was written by the “dead” student’s parent(s) - explaining the circumstances of their classmate’s demise and the contributions the student made to the school and the community. A few minutes later, the student returned to class as the “living dead,” complete with white face make-up, a coroner’s tag, and a black Every 15 Minutes T-shirt. From that point on “victims” did not speak or interact with other students for the remainder of the school day.

Simultaneously, uniformed officers made mock death notifications to the parents of these children at their home, place of employment or business.

Dear Mom and Dad, every fifteen “minutes someone in the United States dies from an alcohol related traffic collision, and today I died. I never had the chance to tell you.......

”

CARDINAL NEWMAN HIGH SCHOOL

STUDENT LIFE

LATER THAT DAY, a simulated traffic collision was viewable at the intersection in front of the school on Old Redwood Highway. Rescue workers treated injured student participants. These students experienced firsthand, the sensations of being involved in a tragic, alcohol-related driving collision. The coroner handled the fatality on the scene, while the injured students were extricated by the jaws-of-life manned by firefighters and paramedics. A helicopter landed at CNHS and airlifted an injured victim to the hospital.

Police officers investigated, arrested, and booked the student “drunk driver”. Student participants continued their experience by an actual trip to the morgue, the hospital emergency room, and to the police department jail for the purpose of being booked for “drunk driving”.

At the end of the day, those students who participated in the staged accident, as well as those who were made-up as the “living dead”, were transported to a local center for an overnight student retreat. The retreat simulated the separation from friends and family. A support staff of counselors and police officers facilitated the retreat.

During the most powerful part of the retreat, the students were taken through an audio-visualization of their own death. Each student then wrote a letter to his or her parents starting out with . . .

“Dear Mom and Dad, every fifteen minutes someone in the United States dies from an alcohol related traffic collision, and today I died. I never had the chance to tell you.......”

Parents were also asked to write similar letters to their children. Some of these letters were shared the following day when students and parents were reunited at a school assembly.

During the second day’s assembly, Officer Jon Sloat guided the audience through the devastating effects of losing a loved one due to a bad choice. Speakers included students who read letters to their parents, parents who read letters to their children, Mr. Bill Grafe of Daniels Chapel of the Roses, and Mr. Andrew Pryfogle, who presented a very emotional recollection of losing a brother in a drunk driving accident.

The focus of the assembly stressed that the decision to consume alcohol affects many more people than just the one who drinks and texts while driving. This very emotional and heart-wrenching event illustrated the potentially dangerous consequences of student use of alcohol and texting while driving, regardless of how casual they believe their use is.

STATISTICS • Traffic accidents are the number one cause of teen deaths • 23% of teen traffic deaths are alcohol related • In 35% of fatal teen crashes, the driver was speeding • 54% of teen driver deaths occur on weekends • 71% of drivers between 16-20 years of age in fatal crashes involving alcohol were not wearing seatbelts

This event included the participation of our police and fire departments, high school staff, local hospital, video production crew, the district attorney’s office, funeral home, coroner, and a wide cross-section of the community at-large.

Thank you to our sponsors for making this possible: California Highway Patrol, YSN365.com Youth Sports Network, Jim Rael Photography, and California Office of Traffic Safety.

• 10% of teenage driver deaths were the result of distracted driving

SENIOR RETREAT

“IMMERSE” Our Senior Class Retreats took place at Westminster Woods Camp and Conference Center in the beautiful redwood forest of Occidental. The theme of the retreat was “Immerse”, a call to the seniors to follow the example of Christ and fully-immerse themselves in the journey of life. The students were encouraged to reflect on the meaning and purpose of their lives and spend some time in self-discovery as well as community building.

Volunteer teachers and faculty poured much time, attention, and care into the students. They led small groups, gave witness talks to the large group and were wonderful, guiding presences to the seniors.

The students began their retreat Sunday at Cardinal Newman when they met their small groups, competed in trivia, and enjoyed lunch together before departing for the retreat center. The students arrived at the redwoods early enough to take advantage of the beautiful weather and hike with their small groups. That evening, following games and dinner, the students began to immerse themselves into the theme of the retreat as they took time to name the values and people that make up their foundations. An evening prayer in which each person shared a personal goal or expectation for the retreat set the tone and reinforced the theme of Immerse.

Monday brought time to spend outdoors in prayer and building trust with peers as they took turns guiding each other blindfolded. Later that afternoon, an exercise in communication through deep questions with their trust walk partners helped form bonds between classmates. The evening culminated in a Reconciliation Service, led by chaplain, Fr. Moses Brown, a campfire and a very special night prayer tradition.

Tuesday after lunch the students reflected on their future selves and their retreat experience. The groups particularly enjoyed affirming each other one by one and playing under the redwood canopy together.

Students returned to their day-to-day lives refreshed after spending some time in prayer, personal reflection, and community with classmates.

JUNIOR RETREAT

“IDENTITY” The Junior Class Retreat served to strengthen the friendship and community of the Cardinal Newman Class of 2017. The students discussed and shared about who they truly are - inside and out.

On Sunday afternoon members of the junior class arrived at Cardinal Newman. The students met their retreat small groups and enjoyed lunch together before departing for CYO Camp in the beautiful redwood forest of Occidental. The groups took advantage of the nice weather and spent the afternoon hiking and getting to know new things about one another.

Sunday evening was spent with students sharing about their identities and experiences through games, projects and activities. The students enjoyed being able to relax, unwind and enjoy time together in play. Each small group, led by a volunteer faculty or staff member, served as a safe place for students to share and go deeper in discussion. The evening culminated in a prayer remembering all those who have touched our lives. Senior students from the Campus Ministry class shared their experiences with the juniors and led a question and answer time.

Monday began with time for the students to go out on their own to contemplate and pray in the beautiful natural surroundings. Over the course of the rest of the day the students discussed their stances on a variety of issues and took time for relaxation. The retreat ended with an affirmation activity before the students headed home refreshed and a more closely bonded class community.

Washing of the Feet Service Day THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2016

OUR WONDERFUL STUDENTS AND FACULTY, AIDED BY STAFF, MADE OUR ANNUAL “WASHING OF THE FEET” SERVICE DAY A MEANINGFUL, PRODUCTIVE DAY.SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR MAINTENANCE TEAM FOR HELPING TO WITH THE SET UP FOR OUR FRESHMEN CAMPUS CLEAN UP. While cleaning the ditches along Old Redwood Highway, freshmen students from Mr. Hartman’s 4th period class found a wallet and a check for $500.

Students connected with a very relieved owner who had dined at the Hilton the night before and left her wallet on the table. When she went to look for it, it was gone. Unfortunately, her cash was gone, but all of her cards and checks were there and intact. She was so grateful for this act of service by our students!

Aside from tidying up around campus and the surrounding area, freshmen also volunteered for St. Vincent de Paul at Resurrection Parish bagging food and materials for those in need. Two seniors working on their CBSL Projects, Kathleen Mateo and Addison Edgar, led Mrs. Stimmel’s 4th period making Buddy Blankets for cancer patients. Students also served at Catholic Charities Family Support Center.

Several homerooms and their teachers packed 960 boxes of food at the Redwood Empire Food Bank for distribution to elderly in need.

Sophomore and Junior students helped garden at the Cove and at Community Support Network’s Brown Street and Hope House group homes. Some 4th periods, supervised by teachers, also volunteered at The Charles Schulz Museum and Research Center, community action partnership Head Start, Howarth Park at the K-Land attractions, The Laguna Environmental Center, The Child Parent Institute, The Renaissance Healing and Learning Center, Friends House, Sugar Loaf State Park, and detailed patrol cars for the California Highway Patrol. Officer Sloat posted a “thank you” on the CHP FaceBook page and many people gave our Cardinal Newman community kudos for “raising our kids right”.

We extend gratitude to all who participated and especially to all the sites who partnered with us in our service mission.

INTERSESSION 2015-16 This year’s Intersession took place just after the Christmas holiday and included popular courses from last year: Sports Camps, Dance, Archery and Welding. Many new offerings were added, among them, Astronomy, Homemade Beauty, and a certificate course in CPR. Some groups travelled off campus to visit local parks, art studios and the municipal court house, while others who registered for Dance, Fashion and Design, MovieFest, and Urban Exploring spent time in San Francisco.

One group of students travelled to Bear Valley to enjoy skiing and philosophy.

Registration was competitive and not all students were able to enroll in their first choices. Many seniors reported waking up at six am in order to sign-up for their favorite courses. The program is designed to include a mix of opportunities with free or low cost options so that all students have choices.

While switching Intersession from April to January posed some challenges, most people welcomed the change. As one parent observed, “It gave students the opportunity to ease into the second semester with some new experiences.” Outdoor courses were luckily unimpeded by inclement weather. Many students loved the chance to engage in outdoor activities. In a follow-up survey, one parent wrote, “Our son had no idea Lake Sonoma had an archery range. He had a wonderful time while learning a tremendous amount.”

“The purpose of the program is not only to exposes students to new experiences, but to build community among students, as well as with adults.”

The purpose of the program is not only to exposes students to new experiences, but to build community among students, as well as with adults. During Intersession, the ranks of teachers swells to include administrators, counsellors, librarians and members of the staff. Working together, they devise programs, schedule speakers and presentations, organize chaperones, and in some cases open their own homes. One teacher commented, “Intersession involves much more work than lesson planning, but it’s extremely rewarding. We are able to share our own interests with students over two full days. With everyone conducting courses at the same time, students don’t have to miss class to have this kind of enrichment.”

TEDx EVENT IN THE SPIRIT OF “IDEAS WORTH SPREADING”, TED’S MOTTO, WE HELD OUR FIRST TEDX EVENT OF STUDENT SPEAKERS AT CARDINAL NEWMAN HIGH SCHOOL ON JANUARY 27, 2016, IN THE CN GYM. ONLY A DOZEN SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE HOSTED TEDX EVENTS AND ONLY A FEW HAVE TRUSTED STUDENTS TO BE THE SPEAKERS. TEDx is “a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks, video, and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.”

In the first session, Royce Goldschmidt, Kaitlyn Ryan, Nick Uebel, Lexi Allen, Alex Relota, and Brock Bauer spoke. A few highlights: Sophomore Kaitlyn wondered how international adoption can be an answer to child abandonment and human trafficking.

Brock considered how surveillance and the violation of privacy negatively affect even those who have nothing to hide. In the second session, it was Spencer Almy, Christian Hextrum, Elissa Papale, Luc Delorenzo, Ali Mitrovitch, and Cameron Baker.

Spencer asked what factors prevent American military veterans from receiving the recognition and help that they earned through a career of military service. And Ali asked how disease and

A YouTube playlist of all the talks can be found at tinyurl. com/tedxcardinalnewmanhsvideos. Some have already had hundreds of views. The twelve speakers were chosen from about 200 students who tried out.

Thank you to all the speakers and student volunteers, especially Patrick McDermott and Marcus Schmidt. Thanks to the Director, English teacher Ryan Smith, and to school administrators for supporting the event.

Next year, current juniors Grace Bedsole and Jalen Dural will direct the TEDx as their CBSL service project and expand it by inviting speakers from all Sonoma County high schools. Sonoma Country Day School will host the event in January. Contact Grace or Jalen to get involved!

WINTER SPORTS 2016 VARSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL The 2015-2016 Cardinal Newman High School Women’s Basketball team has had a season to remember!

To open the season, the Cardinals finished 2nd in their own Cardinal Newman Classic Tournament, one of the most competitive 8-team tournaments on the West FIRST STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Coast. Junior Hailey ViceIN CARDINAL NEWMAN HISTORY! Neat and Freshman Avery Cargill were named to the All-Tournament Team. The very next weekend the Cardinals won the Championship at the Paris Twins Classic at Piedmont High School. Junior Hailey Vice-Neat was named to the All-Tournament Team and Freshman Avery Cargill was named MVP. The Cardinals would once again dominate Sonoma County, winning the North Bay League and North Bay League Tournament Championships for the third year in a row. They also earned the right to participate in the North Coast Section Division 4 Championship game for the first time in program history.

After sections, the Cardinals earned the number one seed in the Northern California tournament.

They defeated Scotts Valley and Sacred Heart to propel themselves into the Northern California Championship game, where they Cardinal Newman High School Women’s Basketball defeated Menlo 51-32 and clinched their first Northern California North Bay League Champions Championship in program history.

North Bay League Tournament Champions North Coast Section D4 Runner-Up On Saturday, March 19, 2016, the team traveled to Sleep Train Northern California D4 Champions Arena in Sacramento where they met a tough Antelope Valley CIF D4 State Champions team in the CIF Division 4 State Championship game. After a North Coast Section Scholastic Award hard-fought game, the Cardinals came out on top. They defeated Antelope Valley 39-37, snapping the Lope’s 30-game win streak and earning the first state championship for women’s basketball in Cardinal Newman history!

One of the most impressive things about the 2015-2016 Cardinal Newman High School Women’s Basketball team is their selflessness and commitment to their teammates. As always, the girls put the success of the team ahead of their personal agendas. Perhaps equally impressive is the fact that they were able to accomplish so much without any seniors on the team.

Congratulations to all of the girls on a fantastic season! With the entire team returning, the women’s basketball program looks forward to continued success!

MEN’S FRESHMAN BASKETBALL GOLD TEAM

MEN’S VARSITY BASKETBALL This year’s Varsity Men’s Basketball Team completed another highly successful season, finishing 20-10 and achieving an important benchmark – a 20-win season Overcoming a series of setbacks (football injuries to key players Cody Baker, Connor Rubattino and Damian Wallace), the team really became a fine, cohesive unit by the season’s end. After a rough start (4-4), the Cardinals went on a 7-game win streak, encapsulated by winning the Sonoma County Classic over a good Las Lomas team 64-56, and defeated a good Montgomery team 46-31 in the NBL opener. This year’s squad finished a solid 10-4; good enough for sole possession of second place in the NBL, losing in the NBL tourney championship game to regular season champion, Windsor High School. Playing one of their best games of the year, Newman demolished Fortuna (the second place team in the HDN League) 61-26. The season ended in a spirited, competitive loss to powerhouse Salesian High School in Richmond. The resilience and character of this team were a testimony to their achievements. Conor McCarthy, Seth Doolittle and Cody Baker received All-League status in the North Bay League. Conor McCarthy was also voted the Best Defensive Player in the NBL by the coaches.

The Frosh Gold Men’s Basketball Team finished the season with a 17-9 overall record and an 8-4 league (SCL) record.

The team started the season with a 4-0 record, and were champions of the Elsie Allen Tournament. The season ended with a win over Petaluma 38-30, finishing in a 3-way tie for the Sonoma County League top spot, along with Analy and Petaluma; all 8-4 in league. Coach Sexton would like to thank his assistant coach, Chris Reuter, for his time and commitment to the team.

FRESHMAN CARDINAL BASKETBALL The Cardinal Freshman Basketball Team had a very successful 2015-2016 season.

The team overcame a lot of adversity and grew as a unit throughout the entire season. All twelve players contributed on and off the court throughout the year. The coaches were most impressed with the camaraderie of the 12 student-athletes playing as one unit, whether after a win or loss. These 12 players have bright futures in anything they desire to achieve in life.

The coaches feel extremely fortunate to have had the privilege of coaching these young men and watching them grow as Christian gentlemen.

JV MEN’S BASKETBALL The 2015-2016 JV basketball team finished the season with a 19-7 overall mark which included a 1st place finish in the Drake Tournament and a 10-game winning streak from December 11th to January 15th. A 10-4 NBL season was good for a 2nd place finish behind Windsor as the boys won their last 4 games after a tough loss to the league champs. Throughout the season, the team demonstrated great work ethic and willingness to learn, and at the end of the season were playing their best basketball. The coaches look forward to watching them grow as student-athletes and wish to thank them for all of their dedication and hard work.

MEN’S VARSITY SOCCER The 2016 Cardinal Newman Varsity Soccer season was a successful and positive experience. The coaches are proud of our teams’ commitment to each other, consistently working hard on the field and bonding off it. The coaches would like to thank the seniors, Gilbert Campos, Royce Goldschmidt, Connery Gschwend, Kyler Hankins, Kevin Flanagan, and Ivan Rubio for their leadership, and wish them the best during the next chapter of their lives and education.

We’d also like to thank the parents for their unyielding support throughout the season. Underclassmen, see you over the summer! Congratulations to all involved in CN Soccer; everyone represented our school well, we are proud of our program’s growth.

“It was a great season with a great team. We fought hard in every game and played for each other. We had a great coaching staff that helped us both on and off the field to be the best we could be. Good luck to all the seniors in college next year and I’m looking forward to playing with the rest of my teammates when the season starts again.” #4 Rupert Holden (Junior)

JV MEN’S SOCCER This season was a fun and challenging season for the JV Men’s Soccer Team. With the switch from fall to winter seasons came issues of weather-affected games and waterlogged fields, but made for some fun games and practices.

We had some really tough games but the boys kept applying themselves and were rewarded with some good results towards the end of the season. For many players, the improvement from the beginning to the end of the season was immense and that’s due to their hard work and determination to do better every game. A great team spirit meant all practices were fun for the guys and there is no doubt that, if the players continue to improve as they did this season, they’ll be ready for that step up to Varsity in the next year or two.

“Going into our first game, we knew we had a tough season ahead of us with a lot of talent spread out across the whole league. We knew we had to give every game our all and we did that, leaving only our best efforts on the field after each game. I’m so proud of my teammates because although we may not have had the best record in the league, we had the most heart.” #8 Kevin Flanagan (Senior)

FROSH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL What a great year for the Cardinal Newman Freshman Girls Basketball Team! The girls got off to a rocky start, dealing with a few injuries here and there, but they came together as a strong unit, pushing through all of the adversity they faced.

After winning three games in pre-season, the team finished overall 7-22. The team ended the season on a two-game win streak, and the coaches could not be more proud of the girls’ progress from beginning to end. What a great, fun, hardworking bunch of girls . . .

And a fun-filled season it was!

CHEER 2015-2016 Cardinal Newman High School Cheerleaders work hard year round! The 2015-16 season started in May and continued into March, cheering for both the football and basketball teams. For the winter season, we added three new members to our cheer team so we were able to maintain our eight-person squad. The team learned a new halftime routine, new sideline cheers, and continued working on their stunting skills. They cheered at all boys’ varsity basketball home games and supported the girls’ varsity basketball team also. Our goal this year was to work hard, play hard, cheer hard . . .

And we did just that! Go Cardinals!

WRESTLING In the NBL dual meet season, the Cardinals finished with a 4-3 record.

A year where injury prevented many of the top-ranked wrestlers to compete in key matches, the Cardinals struggled to fill certain weights but would eventually heal to finish the season. Overall the Cardinals finished 3rd in the North Bay League, qualifying ten wrestlers to the North Coast Section tournament. This is the most NCS qualifiers that the Cardinal Newman wrestling program has ever had move on. At NCS, the Cardinals placed 11th out of 100 teams competing in just one division including large and small schools. Individual NCS place winners were: Senior Mason Levinson, 7th at 152 lb; Junior Jake Butler (NBL Champion), 5th at 132 lb; Junior Gunnar Hayman, 3rd at 285 lb.

Gunnar Hayman, qualified to the State Meet in Bakersfield and joined the top 40 wrestlers in the entire state at his weight class. He will return to the Cardinal Newman wrestling program as a state-qualifier and has a promising senior year lined up for him. The Cardinals only graduate one senior, so they will be returning all 9 NCS qualifiers, including 3 returning NCS place winners. Coming one match from placing at NCS were Harry Bruno (sophomore), who won the NBL at 120 lb, and Casey Frazier (sophomore) who placed third at 145 lb at NBL. There were several other great performances by freshmen Jacob Apodaca, Ciaran McCormick, Hector Vega and Carsten Westby, and sophomores Nick Scrivanich and Philip Rago, that etched promise for the Cardinals in years to come. Overall the Cardinals are excited to start another season and to make use of their new wrestling facility which will be ready this summer and in time for the 2016-2017 season.

Our wrestlers will be working hard in the off season towards what may be one of the toughest and much anticipated squads in the empire next season. Look for returning state qualifier Gunnar Hayman, the 13th-ranked CA State Jake Butler, and Honorable Mention CA State Kyle Smith as they move into their senior year to bring a strong finish at the 2017 State Meet.

2016 JOHN HENRY NEWMAN AWARD WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE NOMINEES FOR THE 2016 JOHN HENRY NEWMAN AWARD MRS. CAROL DRAKE, UHS ‘80 AND MR. JOHN DRAKE The John Henry Newman Award, the highest award given by the Cardinal Newman community, acknowledges an alum and a community member who follow Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman’s example and inspire us by their: •Lasting and meaningful service to Ursuline & Cardinal Newman High Schools and the greater community, •Examples of Christian character, •Gifts of talent, treasure and time in the form of dedication to the mission of Catholic education.

They join a distinguished list of alums and community members that have made a difference at Cardinal Newman and have inspired us to follow their lead.

MRS. CAROL DRAKE, UHS ‘80 Just as John Henry Cardinal Newman and St. Angela Merici advanced education of the young in order to prepare them for the world, Carol has been equally devoted to Catholic education. As a Board Member, she led by example, inspiring others to share their time and talents with our community. Her tireless energy and continued support on the Booster Board, Advancement Committee, and Enrollment Committee guided us to achieve our best. Her dedication to numerous projects and events such as Open Houses, Legacy Gala, Sports Banquets, team dinners and much more exemplifies the Christian character of our patrons.

MR. JOHN DRAKE John’s continuous and generous support each year towards school events and programs that benefit our young women and men exemplifies the Christian character of our patrons. He has led with a quiet, ‘behind the scenes’ approach, never asking for or expecting recognition for his efforts. His leadership style and grace are admired by many and are an inspiration to not only our young people, but for others in our community. We are grateful for all that he has done within our community and continues to do for the students.

Just as Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman and St. Angela Merici advanced education of the young in order to prepare them for the world, so have this year’s two nominees.

Congratulations to this year’s John Henry Newman Award recipients!
