Service Learning
To expand our students’ sense of connection to the community and the world at large, Service Learning Projects are developed in each homeroom. Students with individual passions will be allowed to develop an Individual Service Learning Project. Classroom activities will expand the students’ knowledge base of the issue or community need they’ve selected. Each class project and individual student project will be presented to the entire student body at the conclusion of the school year. Service Learning Projects typically involve the students volunteering their time off or on campus, or doing fundraising for a specific cause. All school districts have implemented a Service Learning component to the graduation requirements. Graduating seniors must complete their hours in order to receive their diploma.
