Newark Memorial High School is the only High School in Newark, California . It lies near the southwestern edge of the city. Newark Memorial High School was formed in 1983 as part of a school consolidation program instituted by the Newark Unified School District . Prior to the consolidation program, Newark had two high schools (Newark High School on Lafayette Ave., and Memorial High School on Cedar Blvd.) and two "Intermediate Schools" for grades 7-8, (M. D. Silva Intermediate School on Thornton Ave. and John I. MacGregor Intermediate School on Cedar Blvd.) In 1983, both M. D. Silva and John I. MacGregor were closed and the former Newark High School was converted into Newark’s only junior high school, Newark Junior High School. Memorial High School was then renamed Newark Memorial High School and became the sole high school in Newark. The mascots of both Newark High School (Knights) and Memorial High School (Patriots) were abandoned in favor of the Cougars.
