Service Hours at St. Stephen School

 For the 2025–2026 school year, middle school students will not be required to complete formal service hours. The Archdiocese does not mandate service hours for Catholic school students or for Confirmation preparation. However, we strongly encourage students to seek opportunities to serve others in our school, parish, and wider community, as service is a meaningful way to live out our Catholic faith and grow as compassionate, faith-filled individuals. An exception applies to students in the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS), who must complete 10 service hours during the school year, per NJHS bylaws. These students will receive a service log in the fall, with completed forms due to Mrs. Brockmeyer by May 29, 2026.
