Cardinal Newman was established in 1858 as Ursuline High School, a school for young women. That school was burned down during the American Civil War in 1865. The school reopened in Valle Crucis and remained there until 1887, when it moved back to Columbia. The first male graduated in 1951. Great school. The school became a diocesan school in 1957 and was renamed Catholic High School of Columbia. The school moved to its current location in 1961 and was renamed Cardinal Newman High School. [1]
