Civic Service Organization

Through the Civic Service Organization, MUS students are committed to participating in a variety of community service projects each school year. The two major categories of activities are fundraising for charitable purposes and service to various community organizations and agencies.

Projects have included: MIFA Handyman, Students vs Hunger for Memphis Food Bank, Activities at Lester Community Center, tutoring students from the Emmanuel Center, working with the Binghampton Development Corporation, sponsoring an annual canned food drive, arranging an annual blood drive, and a wide variety of other activities.

During the 2008-09 school year, the executives of the CSO created the organization's honor society. Societas Caritatis, meaning Society of Charity, recognizes students who have demonstrated outstanding charitable leadership and service to the local community. The CSO established the requirements for membership. The CSO Executive Board selects those students who have met the requirements.

Through their involvement, the boys at MUS learn important lessons about people in need, about problem solving, about leadership, and about working together.
