Newberry High School's Academy of Criminal Justice magnet program was founded by Jackie Whitworth.

The curriculum includes classes in law enforcement, self-defense, and forensic investigation.

Each ESE student is assigned a caseworker and an individualized education program based on their needs.

The concert band went to state for MPA district assessment in 2015 and received an overall Superior rating.

The band has gone through several changes in leadership within the past couple of years and is now under the direction of James DeRemer who has been there since 2014.

The school offers eleven sports: baseball, basketball, cheerleading, football, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, volleyball, lacrosse, and weightlifting.
