In keeping with the mission of Hastings Catholic Schools, high school students are required to volunteer a minimum of 75 hours of service to the school or community as a requirement for graduation.

All St. Cecilia students must be enrolled in at least seven classes each semester. Academic credit for courses is based on the number of times a given course meets per week (five class periods per week equals five credit hours per semester).

Students in grade 9-12 who fail required courses must retake those courses for the semester or semesters failed. Students may be required to retake the entire year.
