Service Directory - Archbishop Rummel High School

Written verification of completed service opportunities with secured signatures
and contact information will be included in the students’ official records. Completed
community service forms must be submitted to the Director of Service Programs.
Each student’s service hour requirement must be completed by the dates stated
above in their senior year. Students who have not met this graduation requirement on
time risk not receiving their diploma at graduation.
Upon completion of the required hours, each student will present a service
portfolio to the Director of Service Programs as his “Senior Project.” This will finalize
their completion of the graduation requirement. The portfolio should contain a journal,
reflections, evaluations, pictures, and all verification forms that will exhibit completion
and impact from the service projects. If there is any question on the integrity of the
completion or the impact on the student with the approved service projects, an exit
interview will be conducted by the Director of Service Programs or an appointed
interviewer.
Service Opportunity Guidelines for LaSallian Outreach
1) All students are encouraged to work with the Director of Service Programs in
choosing and securing service opportunities with approved service partners.
2) In both service programs, all hours must be completed off campus with approved
service partners.
3) A student may not do service for another family member. Family members do
serve one another – that is part of being a family.
4) If a student completes more than their required hours, it cannot carry over to the
next year. Any service hours completed over the required amount will be
considered a gift given by the student, improving and giving back to their
community. An important lesson in yearly community service is that serving
others should be integrated into our lives as regular practice, something that
becomes a part of our lives and religious expression. This is part of LaSallian
tradition and embodies the motto of our name sake.
5) Court ordered service hours will not count toward any graduation requirements.
6) Service requirements especially during the junior and senior years are
encouraged to represent a person-to-person effort and bring students in contact
with groups and individuals that are outside the students’ regular sphere of
influence and impact. Frequently, service opportunities put students in touch with
“at-risk” populations, marginalized or poor persons, and people unlike
themselves. This is one part of Lasallian education.
7) Students who participate in liturgical ministries such as lector, altar server, and
choir are commended for their effort; however these do not count as service
hours.
8) Recommended Service opportunities:
a. All organizations sponsored by Catholic Charities/Archdiocese of New
Orleans
b. Summer Camps for the Handicapped and/or Infirmed
