Simplifying College Admissions!

Students will be using Scoir to research and follow colleges of interest. Scoir is also used to request letters of recommendation from faculty and to request the sending of academic transcripts. Parents and Guardians have access to Scoir to assist in college selection and to gain more insight about the cost of attendance at different colleges.

We feel confident that you will find it helpful and easy to use.

Juniors and Seniors interested in making an Emmaus Retreat are asked to complete and turn in the Emmaus Registration Form to Mr. Reep in Campus Ministry. Sophomores may also attend the Emmaus with the permission of Campus Ministry.

Cardinal Newman High School has as its purpose the holistic education of each student in light of the Gospel values taught by Jesus Christ. Service to others and personal sacrifice were very important to Jesus and therefore, are an integral part of preparing our students for becoming positive role models in the community. This Community Service program is designed to enrich the lives of our students and the communities in which they live. Through successful completion of the program, the student not only helps others but also gains invaluable experience through working with a wide variety of non-profit organizations and in-school activities. Some students even return to work for the organization at which they volunteered. In addition, such service gives our students the necessary documented service which colleges expect from scholarship applicants.

Please be aware that failure to complete a minimum of 75 service hours by senior year may jeopardize your eligibility for the Florida Bright Future Scholarship.

All community service is logged through the Mobile Serve App or at https://www.mobileserve.com/. All students should have an account with their school email as their username. If you have any questions please email Mrs. Lower at karen.lower@cardinalnewman.com.

3. Ask the Principal, Dean, or Assistant Principal at the present school to submit directly to the CNHS Admissions Office a  letter of recommendation. The letter should discuss the applicant’s citizenship while at the present high school.
