Newark Catholic High School is a private, Catholic co-educational high school located in Newark, Ohio in Licking County. It is operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus. It's a Catholic school committed to create an environment for students to grow in their Catholic faith, expand their knowledge and extend their talents in service to others.[1]
Controversies
In 2022 former Newark Catholic teacher Donald Schaefer was sentenced to twenty-eight months in prison after admitting he inappropriately touched former students.[2] He plead guilty to two charges of gross sexual imposition while four additional counts and one count of voyeurism were dismissed as part of a plea deal. One victim said he was in a hot tub with his former teacher when he was inappropriately touched multiple times after telling him to stop. This indictment came two years after Schaefer resigned from Newark Catholic in 2020, shortly after an investigation by the Diocese of Columbus that concluded that the Diocese "did not uncover any criminal conduct, it did identify conduct that was in violation of the Diocese’s safe environment protocols."[3] Shortly after Schaefer's arrest in 2021, then principal Beth Hill was asked to step down. Hill had been principal for many years and had often dismissed Schaefer's behavior to parents as nurturing or that of a fatherly mentor figure.
