Theology Department Updates Service Learning Program:
In response to Jesus’ command to love and serve one another, the students of Reitz Memorial High School are encouraged to live a lifestyle which involves a loving response to the needs of others. In light of this philosophy, Reitz Memorial regards Christian service as an integral component of the holistic education of each student.

Therefore, school sponsored service projects are coordinated so that all students can actively participate in the Service Learning Program at RMHS. Updates have been made to how and when reflection reports are to be submitted.

If there are any questions after reviewing the new procedures, please contact Mr. Gries at kevingries@evdio.org
