  Community Service

The Service Learning Program is an educational program that is designed to offer students a chance to learn from the experiences of working with others in the community. The program provides students with the opportunity to extend their education beyond the classroom walls and into the working community so that they may enhance their ability and shape the society in which they live.

The goals of the program are rooted by the school's mission statement and the belief that community participation, when combined with reflection, supplies a rich tapestry of social and intellectual experiences that can give meaning and purpose to classroom learning. While using the community as an arena for reflection and action, students are challenged with learning hands-on about relationships between individuals and their communities.

Students partake in a school-wide community service day at the beginning of the school year and are expected to perform at least 5-10 hours (depending on grade) of both in and out of school community service.
