Christian Service Program (CSP)
The Christian Service Program (CSP) was established to help students reach their potential as young people called to serve others as part of Jesus’ mandate, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for the many.” (Mt 20:28). It is our hope and desire that all of our students learn to serve others and not themselves. Even Pope Francis has spoken of the responsibility of young people to serve others in imitation of Jesus. CSP at Alleman Catholic High School is about learning to serve others by going out of ourselves. Below are the requirements for our current students at Alleman Catholic High School:
Seniors (Class of 2025) – Members of the Class of 2025 are required to complete 80 hours of service to graduate and 140 hours to earn a Service Cord upon graduation.
Juniors (Class of 2026), Sophomores (Class of 2027), and Freshman (Class of 2028) – Are required to complete 100 hours of service to graduate and 160 hours to earn a Service Cord upon graduation.
Service Hours Requirements: These hours should be tied as closely as possible to the Corporal and the Spiritual Works of Mercy of the Church found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. These hours must be approved through our electronic program, and your supervisor must be requested to sign off that you have completed these hours. The hours will then be entered in by Alleman Staff and kept electronically.
Alleman Catholic High School exists as an apostolate of various Catholic parishes within the IL Quad City area. Our school wouldn't and couldn't exist without their financial support. Upon realizing this a natural question to ask is why do they support us? Why do they invest so much of their treasure into supporting Catholic secondary education in the IL Quad Cities?
The reason is that our parishes want each child to receive an education that has at its specific mission the integral formation of the human person.
Our Catholic parishes recognize that children and young people must be guaranteed the possibility of developing harmoniously their own physical, moral, intellectual and spiritual gifts, and they must also be helped to develop their sense of responsibility, learn the correct use of freedom, and participate actively in social life (cf. 795 of the Code of Canon Law).
One of the special characteristics of our school is therefore our religious instruction. Parents/Guardians, it our joy at AHS to be a school that can provide a complete education for your child. We take our responsibility given to us by the parishes seriously in assisting you in fulfilling your duty to educate your child. AHS is tremendously grateful for the gift of each child who is a part of our school. We have been entrusted with the greatest treasure of any family, but we do not take parents’ or guardians’ place. Parents/Guardians always remain the child’s primary educators. They remain their first Catholic school of which AHS is simply an extension. We nurture and build upon the solid foundation given to them by you!
“Love is the key to the mystery. Love by its very nature is not selfish, but generous. It seeks not its own, but the good of others. The measure of love is not the pleasure it gives
- that is the way the world judges it -
but the joy and peace it can purchase for others.”
