Conwell-Egan Catholic has a history that is rich in tradition, spirit, and community. We continue to build upon a strong foundation, built on the idea that education is not solely based on grades.
We are excited about your interest in CEC! Learn how to apply to CEC, details about Financial Aid & Scholarships, becoming an Eagle for a Day and more!
CEC offers a comprehensive, college-preparatory curriculum, including Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) level coursework.
The Center for Student Leadership is Conwell-Egan's newest initiative to help students discover and develop their leadership skills. The CSL will provide one-of-a-kind programs that both challenge and reward CEC students.
The arts are a reflection of humanity and the CEC Fine Arts program aims to give students the opportunity to better understand themselves and the world around them.
From freshman to senior year, our students participate in a myriad of activities, clubs, community service projects and more where the main purpose is to make you feel "at home" here at CEC.
School Ministry is developing relationships with various organizations that provide many opportunities to experience this service, exposing them to new types of people and places that they otherwise may not have the chance to meet.
Each student is required to complete an act of service approved by Campus Minister. Each student will need to fill out a form on the MobileServe service platform. All students begin as unsatisfactory until they meet the requirements. Lastly, not ALL CSC (Community Service Corps) projects are allowed for service credit.
The Christian Service requirement for students is 4 projects per year. Students are expected to complete at least one project per quarter. These projects need to be logged on our service platform, MobileServe. Please use this link to access the MobileServe service platform.

Students are encouraged to find service projects on their own and can also search for projects using the Discover tab on MobileServe. Approved organizations can post projects directly on MobileServe and they will appear under the Discover tab.
CEC does provide monthly service opportunities for students during the school year and over the summer! During the school year, we participate in the following monthly service activities:
Face-to-Face is an organization in the Germantown section of Philadelphia that provides meals and much more to those in need. When students participate in this service project, they usually help to prepare and serve meals to those in need. This is always a rewarding experience for the students and the people being served are always so grateful.
Sign-Ups for this monthly trip are completed through MobileServe. 6-8 students are usually part of each monthly group that travels to Face-to-Face each month. Students are transported to Face-to-Face after third period and return to CEC in time for dismissal at 2:15.
The Addison of Woodbourne Place is an assisted living facility on Trenton Road that is located less than 10 minutes from CEC. When students participate in this service project, they take time to pray the rosary with the senior residents and just have discussions with them.
Through frequent visits to The Addison of Woodbourne Place our students have gotten to know some of the senior residents. The senior residents always look forward to our students coming to spend time with them!
Sign-Ups for this trip are completed through MobileServe. 6-8 students are usually part of each group that travels to the Addison of Woodbourne Place. Students are transported to The Addison of Woodbourne Place after fourth period and return in time for seventh period.
The Barn Nature Center cares for animals and is located in Doylestown. When students participate in this project, they care for animals by giving them a chance to exercise, preparing food for them, and cleaning their living spaces. In some cases, they feed the animals as well.
Students need to complete a mandatory in-person training before volunteering at The Barn Nature Center. Our goal is to have about 9 students train three times a year (September, December, and March) and then have those students return in smaller groups to care for the animals. For example, the students trained in September would return in either October or November.
This project idea was proposed by a student and we are happy that we have been able to organize this new service project and add it to our monthly service projects at Conwell-Egan! This school year we will be helping at The Barn Nature Center on Wednesdays.
Each summer, our Campus Ministry program offers current and incoming students weekly chances to participate in service projects organized by CEC. Participation in these projects will count towards the Christian Service requirement for the upcoming school year.
These projects usually occur in July and August. The CEC Summer Service Program usually lasts for five weeks.
*Please note that we will make every effort to provide at least one service opportunity during the school day for each student but students will not be able to rely on just these service opportunities to meet their service requirement. They will need to find other projects on their own.
