“To whom much is given, much is required.” By being
involved in community service, students are introduced to the various
needs, resources, and opportunities within the community. In addition,
community involvement opens up possibilities for career interests and
helps build a resume for summer work, scholarships, and award
applications. |

Expectations for
students: Student expectations are
outlined in detail in the Community Service Booklet. Students must
register on-line for a term and an agency. Rising sophomores, juniors,
and seniors register in the spring. Incoming freshmen register in the
fall. Failure to register on-line results in a 30% reduction in the
student’s grade for the community service assignment, which is a part of
the social studies class. Students are expected to complete 20 hours
of service per year with one specific non-profit organization. If a
student’s procrastination or misbehavior results in a need to change
agencies or terms, a 30% grade reduction is assessed on the community service
grade. |
