COMMUNIT Y SERVICE One of the goals we have for our students at Calvary Christian High School is to develop the Christian character trait of servanthood. Calvary encourages students to serve their community, their local church, and local agencies committed to serving those less fortunate. Therefore, a minimum of 100 hours of Community Service is one of the requirements for graduation.
THERE ARE SEVER AL FACETS ABOUT COMMUNIT Y SERVICE TO CONSIDER • Work for the Glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).
• Senior Privilege - Seniors must meet requirements stated in current year handbook to earn Senior Privilege.
• Scholarships may be tied to Community Service (Bright Futures, for example).
• Documentation: In the Community Service description area we require a complete description of the service performed. We will no longer accept one word descriptions. For example, a form with “VBS or Basketball Camp” will not suffice. You must give details that describe the impact of your service on the community.
• Forms should be filled out completely by the STUDENT (not parent).
• Community Service forms are to be turned in the same semester • CCHS will communicate opportunities for community service as we learn of them. You are not limited to these opportunities. as completed. • Community Service is a great way to learn about possible careers - if you are interested in medicine, for example, volunteer at a hospital, nursing home, etc. • Students may not earn community service by working for a family member or individual; it must be completed through an institution. • Rising 9th graders may begin logging Community Service after 8th grade graduation.
