Also, and correct me if I’m wrong, they had an alum paint the gym summer 2016 for the price of supplies only and maybe a subway sandwich

 

It was this past summer, summer 2017. Yes it was done. The Alumni are fantastic!

New LED lights and sound system as well.

So assuming all goes well for this proposed project, what kind of timetable are we looking at? Completed in 3 years? 4?

Quick Google search, has 2016-2017 enrollment exactly as I said, This years enrollment off by a few. [ATTACH=CONFIG]65180[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]65181[/ATTACH]

 

Your wrong about enrollment numbers I posted current updated numbers from Ncc website. I've learned since Trump became president don't always believe everything you look up on Internet especially when it makes no sense ie. bring in a small class lose a big class yet gain 26 students which didn't add up. Directly from the NCC 2017-18 school profile from their website "NCC enrollment 311 young men and women in grades 9-12. There are 60 freshmen,83 sophomores, 86 juniors, and 82 seniors for the 2017-2018 academic year". So safe to say with 82 seniors graduating unless 71 are in next freshmen class enrollment drops below 300.

NCC with an average ACT score of 12?

97% To Continue there education, 69% were offered scholarships,52% completed at least one AP course, 14% scored a 30 are better on there ACT test not bad.

Nobody gives back to their school like NewCath alumni!!

I quoted a number that was given to me by someone that I felt would know. And so I passed them on, I know we've had several transfers, I personally know 6 to be exact this school year from Highlands ,Holy Cross, and Ryle. In fact two of them we're athletes and could not play Varsity Sports due to transferring and could only play JV.

My point was not about the football field whether they do or don't build one, but you're being a bit of a drama Queen. If we had 327 students in 2016-2017 and our lowest freshman class ON RECORD for 2017-2018 and our enrollment only dropped by 15. Your original comment said we could potentially drop to 250. That is quite a leap. No the ACT score is not 12, not sure what that means. We have a 30+ plaque and every graduating class adds 4-8 names each school year. Approx 75% of each of the last 3 or 4 graduating classes have had GPA above 4.0 each , and averaging out over 4 yrs approximately 27 students per graduating class with a 5.0 or above. These are estimates since I am not home and can't double check. But every graduation they print out all of this info. The last 4 yrs we have also stayed around 5 million in scholarships each yr. Not bad for such a small school. We don't care that you call us small because it just makes our accomplishments more impressive. Yes , we tend to be the red headed step child when it comes to the Diocese we don't get new sports complexes like St Henry or help with million dollar renovations like BB, yes I am aware they did alot of fundraising and I am not putting them down. Good for them, it looks great! But if there numbers are that much lower than ours, then how was that feasible?

Don't see myself being a drama queen I threw out some numbers and said why I think a multi million dollar field was risky. You came back and told me I was wrong about my numbers and quoted numbers and then did some false google search that was also wrong. Sorry I went to the actual school website and backed up my statement with actual numbers. Now you say my statement of trend to 250 students is quite a stretch? Is it really? 2010-11=425 students , 2017-18=311 students. 7 years and a loss of 114 kids or 27% of students . So you can't see it going to 250 students on this trend and it's a reach? Rumors are the next class is really gonna be small and beat the record of lowest freshmen enrollment ever just set. I'm not looking to argue but I made a statement of why I thought it was risky and you called me a fool. I think my facts support this is risky. Now back when school was booming 7 years ago with 425 kids I would have had a different answer.

No one should be able to tell anyone how to spend their own money and if its risky then that must be the risk he is willing to take.

I didn't say you were a fool. I said you were a Drama Queen, I said a "quick" Google search, I found 3 diff enrollment numbers for this school year, so went with the LOWEST, so no false Google search. My son was apart of the 2010 State Champs his senior year. The Diocese does very little to help us, it's all parent support, alumni, staff.

The Beverly Hills site is owned a company know as Twin Towers and they build old folks homes. But it is for sale or sold. There are currently plans for the Beverly site just the city is not telling anybody.

Could this be the secret. There is aprox 100 acres of land up there. There would be logistics problems with that hill but not as much with "the Hill"

left some stuff out/ afraid of the grammer police

Are there any updates or changes in the status of the potential donation from Wayne Carlisle, or in the Newport Catholic attempt to get a football stadium on campus?

Good question. Last I was told there was only possible thing holding these plans back. +

It does but doesnt, show me what building all the kids will be housed in every day. There isnt one, so unless they build a new one it will never happen.

 

Exactly, it will never happen.
