Saint Thomas Academy Senior Service Program


Saint Thomas Academy invites students to cultivate a vital and relevant spirituality through service, reflection, and prayer. The school’s goal is to empower students by encouraging them to become servant-leaders who respect others and work for justice and peace. Since this dimension of a student’s development is an integral part of its mission, the Academy has a graduation requirement of forty service hours, which are completed outside of school, along with ten hours of reflection and social analysis, which are incorporated into the senior Theology Social Justice course.

These 50 hours complement a two-week “Senior Project,” which is completed during the last two weeks of senior year, where students are mentored in their responsibilities within one of forty educational, health, or social service agencies. Through this experience, students gain insight, compassion, communication, and helping skills, while working with inner-city children, senior citizens, the homeless, the sick and dying, physically and mentally challenged children and adults, and newly arrived neighbors. The Academy hopes that this program will give our graduating students the opportunity to discover the heart of Jesus and live in His spirit forever.
