The requirements for 9th Grade Religious Education are based on a 30 hour minimum requirement as outlined by the Archdiocese of Atlanta. In addition, remember that three service projects are required, and these count separate from the educational/elective hours. Refer to the “Overview of Electives” sheet for descriptions of electives. Note that this year all LIFE TEEN activities will count for 1.5 credit hrs. (Exception: Wednesday morning Mass & breakfast, and Thursday hang-out nights do not count for credit.)
