Extracurricular
Newport Schools offer a full-range of extracurricular activities including football, baseball, softball, soccer, field hockey, basketball, wrestling, band and orchestra, chorus, and a wide variety of clubs and organizations. Newport students have represented the district at all levels of competition in both academic and extracurricular pursuits. Newport School District has an athletic partnership with Greenwood School District for football, track, soccer, and wrestling. Eligibility for participation is determined by the school board.
The athletic stadium is named after George Katchmer who coached the school to its only undefeated season in 1953. There is a Buffalo pattern made from rocks displayed proudly behind the field.
By Pennsylvania law, all K-12 students in the district, including those who attend a private nonpublic school, cyber charter school, charter school and those homeschooled, are eligible to participate in the extracurricular programs including all athletics. They must meet the same eligibility rules as the students enrolled in the district's schools.
