Community service work presents a great opportunity for our students to prepare for the future while also helping to improve their community. Students who develop an awareness of local organizations and social issues often have an advantage over their peers when headed off to college or into the workforce and become better connected with the meaning and purpose of school thus preparing them for a lifetime of achievement.
