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.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Laura Held - A New Chapter for Cardinal Newman

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 CAMPUSThere 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 learner-

focused 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.

PROFILES & GIVINGBe the Change you want to see in the world: Ken Molinaro, Class of 1972

World traveler, entrepreneur, loyal philanthropist all describe who Ken Molinaro is in the eyes of the Cardinal Newman High School community. Ken is an alum, Class of 1972, and he is a 2009 John Henry Newman Award recipient for his extraordinary sense of giving service broadly in the community.

Ken’s professional background includes a number of small business ventures, along with the distinction of

CEO for Playa del Sol Resorts. His passion for the hospitality field has allowed him to develop top-notch

products in the travel, tourism and accommodation sector.

Providing the best, taking care of customers, ensuring first

rate service and satisfaction are all hallmarks for success,

according to Ken.

Ken has been extremely supportive of Cardinal Newman

High School. Having grown up with classmates from

Ursuline and Cardinal Newman High Schools, Ken is deeply

committed to giving back to our school community. Ken

remembers with great fondness the extraordinary sacrifice

that his parents made in order for him and his brother to

attend Cardinal Newman. As a result, Ken established the

Molinaro Family Endowment. This endowed gift allows us

to designate available funds for students who would benefit

from tuition assistance.

“I want to do something significant for the school community

that gave me the opportunity to succeed, recognize what

my talent might be, while gaining the understanding and

importance of belonging to a community.”

Annually, Ken gathers his friends and family and reserves a table at our Spring Legacy Gala. “I love bringing

an enthusiastic table of guests who can be inspired and influenced by the importance of what a Cardinal

Newman High School education means to our young people.”

Ken remains profoundly influenced by the example set by his Cardinal Newman High School teachers and

members of the Society of Precious Blood Priests who taught him “how to be a good Christian person”.

As more and more families request tuition assistance, donors like Ken have stepped up with enthusiastic

support. “In particular, I appreciate the school’s efforts to help families with the launch of the Fund A Future

Breakfast event.” Ken supports the school’s efforts to more broadly encourage young women and men

to benefit from Cardinal Newman’s outstanding Catholic college preparatory program. We recognize that

this experience has had an extremely strong impact on Ken’s integrity, his personal values, and his career

success.

FUND A FUTURE1ST 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. If you would like to make

a difference in a student’s life, you may donate online at

CARDINALNEWMAN.ORG/DONATE.

Thank you!

FUND A FUTURE ANNUAL APPEALWe are grateful for the support we have received from our parents, alumni and friends for this year’s Fund

A Future Parent and Alumni Annual Appeal. When combined with our donations in support of our tuition

assistance program, we have received cash totaling over $270,000.

There is still time to make your Annual Appeal gift as our fiscal year ends June 30th. Your gift can be mailed

to the school or made online at CARDINALNEWMAN.ORG/DONATE and will be included in our next Annual

Report for this fiscal year.

Thank you to all who have demonstrated support for the important programs at Cardinal Newman by

participating in our Annual Appeal program. When everyone participates, whether it’s with a small or large

gift, the impact on our community can be extraordinary! Thank you for your continued support.

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 real-

life risks. This emotionally-

charged 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 cross-

section 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.......”

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.

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.

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

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

STUDENT LIFE


“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

STUDENT LIFE


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.

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

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. 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.”

“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.”

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 EVENT

ted.com/tedx/events/13543tedxcardinalnewmanhs.weebly.com

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

illness can lead to social isolation and further suffering.

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!

STUDENT LIFE


FIRST STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR WOMEN’S BASKETBALL IN CARDINAL NEWMAN HISTORY!

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

Coast. Junior Hailey Vice-

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

defeated Menlo 51-32 and clinched their first Northern California

Championship in program history.

On Saturday, March 19, 2016, the team traveled to Sleep Train

Arena in Sacramento where they met a tough Antelope Valley

team in the CIF Division 4 State Championship game. After a

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 VARSITY BASKETBALL

MEN’S FRESHMAN BASKETBALL GOLD TEAM 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.

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.

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 SOCCERThe 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)

“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)

JV MEN’S SOCCERThis 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.

CHEER 2015-2016Cardinal 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!

FROSH WOMEN’S BASKETBALLWhat 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!

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.

ANNUAL FUND

2016 JOHN HENRY NEWMAN AWARD

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!
