Cardinal Newman High School Suffers Damage
Several schools were lost in the wildfires, including Cardinal Newman High School, Roseland Collegiate Prep, and Hidden Valley Satellite School. The rest of the schools across the affected counties were closed during the fires. Cardinal Newman’s principal Graham Rutherford estimated that between 15-18 classrooms were damaged, along with the library, main office, and portable classrooms.
Sonoma County Superintendent Steve Herrington said, “Once safety is secured, we must come together to support the many in our community who will be in need of shelter, supplies, and comfort. Schools are truly safe heaves where all can gather.”
At this point, it was 2:30 AM and now the fire was on its way to Coffey Park, where residents were fast asleep.
