Immaculate Heart Academy students dedicated 45,736 total service hours in 2019, the most in recorded history!
By participating in the Immaculate Heart Academy Christian Service Program, students apply their Catholic Christian values by practicing them in projects that expand the students’ awareness of God, others, and themselves.
The 2019 IHA Service Awards recognize the efforts of numerous community members who give back in so many ways. Seniors gave 3.5x their required service hours and 30,605 hours total in their four years at IHA. IHA girls are required to do an average of 18 hours per year, and, this year, they averaged 67.9!
IHA honored 125 students for achieving the President’s Volunteer Service Award at the Bronze level (100-174 hours per year), Silver level (175-249 hours per year), and Gold level (250 and more hours per year).
Congratulations to the top three service hour earners: Gianna Niece ’21 (714), Ashley Brombauer ’21 (803), and Regina Garvey ’19 (846).
