Remembering Mackenzie and Brooklyn

The Newark Catholic community continues to mourn the loss of alumni Mackenzie (Lawrence) Butler (‘14) and Brooklyn Stanley (‘21) who died tragically in a car accident Feb. 14. Please continue to lift the family in prayer. Listed below are two opportunities to do so as a community.

Earn a 2025 tax credit by donating to

Emmaus Road before filing

Did you know you can provide scholarship dollars to Newark Catholic students at no net cost to you? All it takes is a donation to the school that you will get back as a credit on your 2025 Ohio state taxes.

If you give just before you file, you’ll likely see your debit and credit within

weeks of each other, possibly even in the same month. In other words, you’ll

get back what you gave in a short period of time.

Green Wave on Ice!

While we were cheering on team U.S.A. in the Milan-Cortina winter Olympic games, a few of our very own Green Wave have been hard at work on the ice as well. Check out our Green Wave on ice!

Another Green Wave on ice includes Newark Catholic's Communications Manager, Emily Winters, who has coached skating for many years. You'll likely find her paired up with Duncan Tuesday evenings where they both teach Learn to Skate classes at the Lou and Gib Reese Ice Arena.
