PATRIOTS COMMUNITY SERVICE
"Everybody can be great because everybody can serve."
The words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. still ring true today. At Christian Unified Schools, we desire greatness for each student, and we believe, like Dr. King, that one way to achieve greatness is through Christian service. At Christian High School, students learn how to apply the Biblical worldview they have acquired in the classroom by completing service to the community as part of Christian High School’s Servant Leadership program. This is yet another way that we are teaching students to think, learn and live from a Biblical worldview.
Career Implications
What's your story?
All students should keep in mind that, while it is true that colleges look favorably on service to one’s community, it is more important that the service be a part of a bigger “story.” For example, if a student wants to go into the medical field, then he/she should choose to serve in a hospital, doctor’s office or nursing home. Typically, in the application process, colleges consider hours served above and beyond what the high school requires, and where a student has served is often critical in the decision-making process.
Opportunities
Keep an eye on the calendar!
In addition to the sites included on the “List of Approved Sites,” opportunities to serve are added to the calendar as they arise.
Please come back to this page on our website and check the calendar regularly for a list of the scheduled events for the school year.
We will email notices to the students of upcoming events. Notices will also be in the Daily Bulletin.
Program Summary
Purpose: Servant Leadership at Christian High School will have a three-fold purpose. It will:
- Train leaders in the style of Christ, namely that of servant leadership (Mark 10:45)
- Teach students to “sow generously in thanks to God” for their abundance (2 Cor. 9:9,12)
- Achieve excellence by adding to the rigorous academic and athletic programs at CUSSD (1 Tim. 3:13)
Requirement: All students are required to serve 20 hours of community service each academic school year. Because this time is to be spent in service to the community, all work should be completed without payment to the student in any form. Students will be allowed to complete the allotted number of hours during the school year or during the summer before that school year. No banking of hours for the successive years will be allowed. Students will receive a “P” for completed service, and an “NC” for not completed on their transcript for the year.
Hours Approval: A master list of approved organizations for this requirement is below. To serve at a place on the approved list, students should contact that organization directly to set appointment times for service. All hours must be submitted for approval within two weeks of completion of service. Summer hours need to be turned in before the end of August every year. Hours Served Forms should be turned in to the office or to Mrs. Blake in Room 802 as hours are completed.
Record of Hours: Students should obtain a Record of Hours Served form, either from the office or via the website prior to service. This form is to be completed by the student and signed by a representative from the place of service. All Record of Hours Served forms are subject to audit.
Approved Sites: The log sheet reflects pre-approved categories for service. If your service is not on the list of approved sites, not included in a pre-approved category, isn’t advertised in the bulletin, or isn’t on the Community Service calendar, then you will need to contact Mrs. Blake for approval. Any unapproved hours served will not count towards the requirement.
Church Service: Hours served at a student’s home church may be applied to your Community Service hours. Make sure that you regularly turn in a completed log sheet, signed by a supervisor. This should be done once a quarter.
Service Events: If you are participating in an event that would be good for a group, please contact Mrs. Blake to get the date on the Community Service calendar.
Patriot Servant Class: All students will be enrolled in a credit/no credit Patriot Servant class. The second semester report card will indicate credit or no credit based on completion of the required hours.
Mission Trips: All district-organized mission trips will count toward this requirement. Students participating in such activities must log them on the appropriate Record of Hours Served form in order to receive credit. Find more about our missions programs at instagram.com/chs.gospel.outreach

If you have a question concerning approval of an activity, please email Mrs. Janei Blake at janei.blake@christianunified.org

For one time events, click on the hyperlink (if provided) or call the phone number for more information and the contact person for the project.
Mrs. Blake will notify the students via email and the daily bulletin of additional opportunities throughout the year.
Log Sheets should be turned in within 2 weeks of the service event.
