Volunteer Opportunities

Did you know that FACTS users who are using their Debit Cards to pay tuition from their checking account would save money by calling FACTS and changing the method of payment to ACH! Using your bank routing number and checking account number do not have any monthly fees like the use of a debit or credit card does.

Call customer service at 866-441-4637 today to switch from your credit card to your banking account!

FAFSA - one of the many tasks seniors and their parents have is completing and

submitting the electronic Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Part of this process may also include submitting a form to PHEAA (state rants, etc). Additionally, depending on the college of choice, you may have to submit a CSS Profile. Please consider completing these very necessary forms before Thanksgiving or the end of November. Student financial aid, grants and scholarships are all awarded through the timely submission of these forms!

Report Cards - have been released through email and a copy has been placed in

the students’ portfolio. If you have not received a report card, please contact your child’s School Counselor.

Honor Roll and Distinguished Honors - Remember, Honor Rolls are based

on percentage grades, not g.p.a. All students who have achieved Honor Roll Status have no grade less than 80% and have an overall average of 90% or above.

Distinguished Honors have no grade less than 80% and an overall average of 93% or above. Rediker does not round up overall averages. Physical Education classes are not part of a student’s overall average, but can affect Distinguished/Honor Rolls if a student is not passing the class.

A Message from the Attendance Office Personal responsibility is one of the foundational aspects of preparing our students for life after high school. With that being said, one of the prime responsibilities of our students is to BE ON TIME for school.

Whenever a student is late for school, they must fill out an admission slip which are located in the attendance office. The student is to report immediately to the Attendance Office upon arriving late for school. If no one is in the Attendance Office please see someone in the Main Office.

Lateness due to a professional appointment (doctor, dentist, therapist, etc.) will be excused as long as documentation is provided.

Anyone arriving after 9 AM without a doctor’s note or professional note will NOT be permitted to participate in any after school events, practices or games that day.

Part-Time Help Wanted in Cafeteria Lancaster Catholic High School is in need of a part-time cafeteria worker for the current year. Hours are Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 1:15 p.m.
