Service Learning
As a district, we believe in nurturing academic excellence and the importance of giving back to our community. Our Service Learning Initiative is designed to foster a sense of civic responsibility and empower our students to make a positive impact on the world around them.

What is
SERVICE LEARNING?
Service Learning is an educational approach that integrates meaningful community service with classroom instruction. It's an experiential way for students to apply what they're learning in the classroom to real-world issues, all while contributing to their local and global communities.
Our Service Learning Initiative is a collaborative effort between our dedicated Service Learning Liaison, the active involvement of our school PTAs and the hard work of our teaching staff and leadership.
