The primary purpose of Santa Clara High School is to challenge young men and young women to develop themselves as whole persons-spiritually, intellectually, and physically.  Each student is challenged to develop his/her unique gifts so that he/she can offer them in service toward the building up of the Kingdom of God on earth.  In this spirit, the Christian Service Program has been integrated into our curriculum to provide a hands-on experience for our students to answer the needs of our community and enable them to live up to the call of Christ to be his witnesses to the world.

Below is a summary of the requirements:
Freshmen          10 hours of service within the family or in the community outside of school
Sophomores      15 hours of service at the parish or the place of worship or in the community outside of school
Juniors               20 hours of service either at Santa Clara High School or in the community outside of school 
Seniors              25 hours of service to the outside community
