Christian Service Program
Community service is an integral part of St. Anthony High School and all students are required to complete Christian Service hours for graduation.
Service hours are required to help the student develop a sense of commitment to the greater world. Our goal is to develop students with a passion for social justice and giving that will become part of their lives long after they graduate from St. Anthony.
The following is a minimum annual requirement for all students:
- 30 hours for the Seniors
- 30 hours for the Juniors
- 20 hours for the Sophomores
- 20 hours for the Freshmen
All service hours are due on or before May 1st. Service hours can be earned at a St. Anthony sponsored event, or with an outside agency, school, or church. Information about available service opportunities can be obtained through the Campus Ministry office or through the student's Religion class.
Upon graduation, special recognition will be given to any student who doubles or triples their minimum number of service hours.
The Archdiocese of Los Angeles Christian Service Award is given to the student from the graduating class who most exemplifies the spirit of service to the school and community. The student will be recognized at a liturgy at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles, where he or she will be awarded a medal, which can be worn at graduation.
