Service

---

The students of Memorial High School are encouraged to live a lifestyle which involves a loving response to the needs of others.  Memorial's philosophy regarding service is to enable our students "to develop a Christian view of reality through the presentation of the Gospel values and exercise of a Christian lifestyle." In view of this philosophy, Memorial regards Christian service as an integral component of the education process at every grade level.  In addition to the benefits for the recipients of their service, students will find it rewarding and productive for their own growth.  The personal efforts to serve others will add an essential dimension to their educational experience.

Because of the significance of Memorial's philosophy, all students must actively participate in the service program for graduation from Memorial.  Students are asked to fulfill a specific number of service hours each year.  Half of these hours are done at the student's parish or place of worship; the other half being done according to the student's own interest.

The service hour requirements are as follows:     Download Service Hours Form

Freshman	10 hours
Sophomores	10 hours
Juniors	15 hours
Seniors	15 hours

These opportunities for service are meant to help the students apply what they are learning in the classroom.  It is also a reminder to the faculty that we are not merely educating students, but we are also forming them to be men and women of faith.
