Student Service Hour Guidelines
2024 - 2025 

Student Service Hour Guidelines

Pope High School encourages student involvement in activities that benefit the community. The student must NOT be compensated in any material way. For detailed guide and rules, click here.

Students submitting hours earned only through Pope Clubs and Organizations must earn a minimum of 120 cumulative hours over their 4 years at Pope High School. Of the 120 hours, no more than 60 hours may be from clubs/organizations outside of Pope High School. 

What Counts?

• Service projects sponsored by any Pope HS club, team, or organization.

• Volunteering with any agency, non-profit group, hospital, church, civic group, or community organization. The activity must benefit the entire community (i.e. grounds clean-up, food drive, clothing drive, etc.). No credit will be given for participating in the normal operations of the organization (i.e. Sunday school class, Choir, etc.). No credit will be given for internships unless you work more hours than required. No credit will be given for being a manager of a sports team at Pope High School.

• No credit will be given for the time that you spend planning for fundraising activities or drives for charities such as United Way, Relay for Life, etc.

• No credit will be given for the time that you spend meeting in order to plan or organize a service event, learn about service opportunities, or learn community leadership skills.

• No credit will be given for regular weekly/monthly meetings of a club/organization.
