Student Community Service
Expectations
General
Students at Lifegate Christian
School will be expected to complete service hours as part of
their career related learning experience. Galatians 6:10 says,
"as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people." Jesus'
life was focused on others. As His children, our attitudes
should be the same. The development of a servant's spirit is a
critical key to successful living. It needs to be practiced
during the developmental years in order to become a way of life
when adulthood is attained.
In general, the community service
hour credit will be granted for volunteer work that benefits
someone other than the student's own family members and is not
in the benefit of a commercial company that is conducting its
normal business (helping a company do a service project is
acceptable.) If you have questions about a particular activity
meeting Lifegate service hour requirements, please contact the
school guidance counselor.
Service Hour Expectations
The community service hour
expectation for each high school academic year is 25 hours,
totaling 100 hours upon graduation for students who spend four
school years at Lifegate. The community service hour
requirement for the Honor Society is fifty hours per year above
any school expectations.
Recording Hours
Community service hours will be
recorded on service hour forms that may be obtained from the
guidance counselor. Students are responsible for recording their
hours and having their volunteer supervisor verify and sign
them. These forms will be kept in the student's Lifegate
portfolio. This portfolio is maintained in the files of the
school guidance counselor and may be updated as necessary.
