Harris Newmark Continuation High School is committed to providing a safe and healthy school environment that supports all students in every aspect of their well-being. Our staff, students, and parent/guardians value fair and consistent guidelines for implementing and developing a culture of care.

Newmark is committed to providing students an education that promotes opportunities to graduate with a high school diploma and select college or career paths that will lead them to becoming productive members of society. Our school climate is focused on fostering safety, interpersonal relationships, teaching, and learning.

The environment of Newmark depends on members of the community to conduct themselves in a professional manner. This requires students to commit to learning in school as their job where they must be on time, attend regularly, and make steady academic progress in all classes. All members of the Newmark community are expected to be their best self when on campus, students, teachers, and administrators alike.
