Service
To help students grow in their own understanding of the importance of serving others and becoming life-long stewards, all high school students at Cardinal Stritch are required to complete service-learning hours every year. A Steward of Stritch (S.O.S.) Service-Learning Hour is volunteer work that is done for the school, a church, or the local community organization. This work is to be done without pay and under adult supervision. Students may find service-learning opportunities on their own, as well as find opportunities announced by the school.
To build a deepening commitment to service, the minimum number of hours that are to be completed by students increases every year:
Freshmen
A minimum of fifteen (15) service-learning hours
Sophomores
A minimum of twenty (20) service-learning hours
Juniors
A minimum of twenty-five (25) service-learning hours
Seniors
A minimum of thirty (30) service-learning hours
To ensure that students are participating in service-learning opportunities throughout the school year, all high school students are to complete at least half of their required S.O.S. Service-Learning Hours for the school year by the end of the first semester. (e.g., Freshmen – 7.5 hrs. / Sophomores – 10 hrs. / Juniors – 12.5 hrs. / Seniors – 15 hrs.).
Any service-learning hours completed during the summer can be applied to the upcoming school year. All S.O.S. Service-Learning Hours are to be submitted through the MobileServe app or the MobileServe website.
High school students can access their MobileServe account with their Cardinal Stritch email address and can check their progress through MobileServe, PowerSchool, or the Campus Minister.
All S.O.S Service-Learning Hours are to be completed and submitted to the school by April 30.
