Good Samaritan Program

At Lancaster Catholic High School, we encourage our students to put their faith in action by serving in their community. During each particular school year, each student is required to accomplish 20 service hours, but many go above and beyond the expected. Their service hours may be achieved in many different ways, below is a list of acceptable opportunities.

Good Samaritan Policy AND Important Information  

Service hours for the 2024/2025 academic year will be valid after June 10, 2024 and must be completed no later than May 1, 2025 for the class of 2025 and May 14, 2025 for the underclassmen.

Service hours are graded on a Pass/Fail.  After completion of  service hours the “grade” in the student portal will be changed from Fail to Pass. 

All service hours completed from June 10, 2025 until the start of school should be reported no later September 30, 2024. 

The status of your service hour grade is not final until the fourth quarter report card and your status will stay as FAIL until all 20 service hours for the year are logged and accepted. At the end of the academic year the pass/fail grade will be final on the transcripts based on the completion of or failure to complete the 20 service hours. The Pass/Fail grade on service hours does not impact your GPA . The grade will be on your permanent transcripts as Pass/Fail and will be included in the grades  that are sent to colleges. 

    Students may volunteer for more than 20 hours of service per year if they wish and are encouraged to do so, but additional hours will not be applied to the next school year.
 
    Seniors - Please Note: Seniors must complete 10 hours by the end of the first semester of their senior year, and the remaining 10 hours must be completed by May 1, 2025.
 

What Does NOT Count

  1. Family services, such as mowing the lawn or babysitting are family obligations and will not be accepted.
  2. Helping elderly grandparents, aunts, and uncles unless when connected with an approved non-profit organization.
  3. Service performed for a for-profit company will not be accepted unless approved by the program director before the performing of the service.
  4. Students who wish to perform service at a location not on the approved list must ask Ms. Kierzkowski for approval.
  5. Parents/Guardians may NOT fulfill these requirements for their children.
  6. Some community service or civic organizations will NOT be approved due to their stance on certain moral issues that are in opposition to the official teachings of the Catholic Church
