Cardinal Newman High School is a diocesean, Roman Catholic middle and high school outside the city limits of Columbia, South Carolina.[citation needed] It is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston.[citation needed]

History

Cardinal Newman was established in 1858 as Ursuline High School, a school for young women.[citation needed] That school was destroyed when Union soldiers burned Columbia in 1865.[citation needed] The school reopened in Valle Crucis, North Carolina and remained there until 1887, when it moved back to Columbia. The first male graduated in 1951. The school became a diocesan school in 1957 and was renamed Catholic High School of Columbia.[citation needed] The school moved to Forest Acres, a suburb of Columbia, in 1961 and was renamed Cardinal Newman High School in honor of John Henry Newman.[1][better source needed]

The school moved to a 50-acre campus in unincorporated Richland County near Sesquicentennial State Park in spring 2013[2] and began instruction there in January 2016.[citation needed]

In its efforts to provide Catholic education to as many students possible, Cardinal Newman School began its operation of a middle school (grades 7 and 8) in 1989.[citation needed] The building, which formerly served as the Ursuline Convent, was thoroughly renovated and welcomed more than a 100 students.[citation needed]
