Blessed Sacrament Catholic School at 394 E. Main St, Newark, OH 43055 US - Right to a Catholic Education

Catholic schools exist to reinforce parental efforts to share faith values with their children and to serve the community, particularly the Catholic community of the diocese. Catholic schools of the Diocese of Columbus are open to children of parent(s) or guardian(s) who seek the religiously oriented education which Catholic schools can provide. Schools recruit and admit students of any race, color, gender, or ethnicity to all its rights, privileges, programs, and activities. In addition the school will not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, English proficiency, or disability in the administration of its educational programs and extra curricular activities. Preference is given to members of Catholic parishes. Others are to be welcomed on a space available basis at the discretion of the pastor and/or principal. Pastors and pricipals must exercise discretion in judging admission of pupils. Pastors and principals must refuse admittance to anyone who in their opinion seeks to enroll for the purpose of circumventing the law. Catholic schools are schools of choice. Any parent who wishes to have a Catholic education for his/her child agrees that the parent and child will abide by the policies and regulations of the school. If the policies and/or regulations are not adhered to, or if the school determines that attendance by a student will not be continued, the child may be asked to leave the school by the principal and/or pastor at the elementary level and the pricipal and/or superintendent at the high school level.
