Newman is proud to award Seals of Biliteracy, for the first time, as international recognition of a student's level of proficiency in two world languages. We are particularly excited to be recognized in Baton Rouge on June 3 for the high number of recipients the School had of the state's Seal of Biliteracy during the 2024-25 school year. 22 Newman Seniors earned the Global Seal of Biliteracy, 12 of whom also earned the Louisiana Seal of Biliteracy.
On Wednesday, May 7, 2025, William A. Goldring ’61 joined a select group of individuals – artists, authors, athletes, judges, doctors, and more – who have been recognized as Distinguished Alumni of Isidore Newman School.
Each year Newman honors its most academically accomplished students by inducting them into the Cum Laude Society. Earlier today, nineteen Seniors took the stage to receive this prestigious honor and to carry forward a renowned Greenie tradition.
Now in its 17th year, The Bernard Hirsch Herman Memorial Lecture honors a thirteen-year Greenie and distinguished member of the Class of 2004. We were thrilled to welcome this year’s Honoree, writer Mike Sacks, to the Henson Auditorium.
In late March, members of Newman’s Speech and Debate team competed at the Louisiana Speech League State Tournament, earning Overall State Champions and dozens of individual awards.
