Student Life

Community Service

Service is encouraged in every grade, and high school makes it concrete, with at least 15 hours a year, 60 by graduation, and the Silver Service Award for students who reach 100.

Serving like Christ

Because of our love for God, we believe serving others is a natural outpouring of faith. We follow the example Christ gave us, leading with compassion and putting others first. Community service gives students the opportunity to live that out, making a tangible impact in the San Francisco community while growing in humility, empathy, and leadership.

A lifelong habit of giving back

Acts of service are encouraged in every grade. High school students serve consistently: each completes a minimum of 15 service hours per year, totaling 60 hours by graduation. Students who go above and beyond (100 hours or more) are honored with the Silver Service Award at senior graduation.

Finding the right fit

Not every service opportunity looks the same, and what’s meaningful for one student may not fit another. Our college advisor helps students explore options that align with their interests, gifts, and future goals, whether that is volunteering at a shelter, tutoring younger students, or organizing donation drives, so each student finds a way to serve that is both impactful and authentic.
