Christian Service Requirements

It is important for students to utilize their talents, gifts, and energies to the best of their abilities in the building and nurturing of their community.  Therefore, offering service to the school, parish and community is required for all ICHS students.

To facilitate growth in their understanding of the Christian call to service, students are required to complete a minimum of 10 hours of service each year for a total minimum of 40 service hours over the course of their high school career. (This requirement will be prorated for students completing fewer than 4 years at ICHS.)  Suggestions for service opportunities can be obtained from the Director of Christian Service.  The requirement is completed when all the appropriate documentation has been submitted.  Christian Service Report Forms may be obtained from the high school Director of Christian Service, theology teachers, student Christian Service leaders, the ICHS website, or the main office.  Completion of the minimum 40 hours of service is required for graduation.  No diploma or transcript will be issued without the completion of this requirement.

The appropriate forms may be submitted at any time, but the minimum requirement must be submitted by the annual due dates listed below:

May 1st – Students in grades 9, 10, 11 must submit documentation showing a minimum of 10 hours of service for that year.

Last day of 3rd quarter – Students in grade 12 must submit documentation showing 10 hours of service for that year.

Students who have not completed the service requirement will be ineligible to take semester exams.

ACADEMIC POLICIES

Grading

Students receive a letter grade based on the following percentage intervals:

A = 93-100 B = 85-92 C = 77-84 D = 70-76 F = Below 70

To determine the grade point average, letter grades are converted to the following numerical values. Note that honors course grades are weighted. Physical education grades are not included in the grade point average.

An “I” indicates an incomplete. This situation must be rectified within ten (10) school days after the end of the quarter or semester in which it is received, otherwise the “i” becomes an “F”.

Honor Roll

Grade point average (GPA) at the end of each quarter as shown on the report
card determines honor roll status. A student’s GPA of 3.7 or above (with no
grades of C, D or F) attains High Honor Roll status. A student’s GPA of
3.2 – 3.69 (with no grades of D or F) attains Honor Roll status.

Class Rank

Class rankings are determined using semester grade point averages.

Academic Credit

All academic courses earn ½ credit per semester. Therefore, full year courses earn 1 credit for the year. Certain courses are identified as continuation courses. In these courses, the material of the second semester is directly dependent upon the knowledge of the first semester. Included in this category are mathematics, foreign language, chemistry and human anatomy courses. If a student fails the first semester of a continuation course and then passes the second semester with a grade of “C” or better, the student will receive one (1) full credit for the course.
