Service-Learning is a 1/2 credit course engaging students in hands-on projects to meet learning objectives and strengthen the local community.
The course is introduced in the spring of the sophomore year and concludes after the fall senior semester. Students may select up to two sites (from a prepared list) at which to perform their hours of service.
Two reflective essays are required along with the successful completion of the 70 hours. As per school board policy, all students complete service prior to graduation from Cathedral High School/John 23rd Middle School, earning either an "S" (satisfactory) or a "U" (unsatisfactory) on their transcript.
It is hoped that every student will come to understand service as a way of life in the Christian tradition and a deepening of friendship with God through service of those in need
