Cardinal Newman High School

Ursuline High School is a sister school to a boys' secondary school located on the same road named Cardinal Newman High School. Their campuses adjoin and share a common eating area. The schools' academic programs are also intertwined, with most classes for juniors and seniors taught coeducationally. Exceptions include all levels of math and basic levels of science. It is uncommon for CN and UHS freshmen and sophomores to take classes taught at the other school, but certainly not unheard-of as in the case of certain language classes. The schools have separate Associated Student Bodies that collaborate in the discharge of their duties. School-sponsored social events are also facilitated in cooperation between the two schools, as is the drama program; athletics, with the exceptions of Cross Country and Track & Field, are not. The schools have separate offices, libraries, computer labs, classrooms, and gymnasia, but share cafeteria facilities, a multipurpose facility, and some athletics facilities. Class rankings for Newman and Ursuline are separate (as Ursuline does not use the class rank system), but the students graduate together, with at least one valedictorian and salutatorian from each school giving addresses.
