In order to grow personally, intellectually and spiritually, Bishop O’Dowd High School provides students ample opportunities to learn through service to the wider community and time to explore their faith. From service learning and immersion programs focused on social justice to retreats and liturgies that grow and express a student’s relationship with God, our student body is continually developing their own expressions of faith and justice.

Service Learning
Service learning is a hands-on approach to education that enriches everyone involved. At O’Dowd, service learning integrates student volunteer service to the community with reflection and classroom connections in order to deepen understanding. Every O’Dowd student will complete a minimum of 100 hours of service throughout a four-year program. Each project will help students learn from the people they serve by fostering relationships with them.
Service Immersion
An extended immersion trip is an opportunity to see your world in a completely different way. Each immersion incorporates:
- A hands-on service project,
- An analysis of social justice in the local area,
- Spiritual reflection time,
- Intentionally simplifying your lifestyle, and
- Creating solidarity with local people and building a community that supports each other.
