Upper School Community Service
The Mission Statement of Laguna Blanca School places emphasis on making Community Service an integral part of School life. Our mission is to continue to involve students in many service-learning experiences. Community Service teaches habits of mind and heart essential for full participation in a democratic society. Students experience the difference their commitment and efforts can make in the lives of others. They derive from their service projects a sense of accomplishment, independence, and personal responsibility that makes them more thoughtful and purposeful in all aspects of their lives.
Student Requirements In the Upper School students are required to complete at least 16 hours of service work for graduation. Work can be completed at any time during the 9th through 12th grade. Students must complete a community service form and return it to the community service office for credit.
In addition, students are invited to join one or more of the on-campus service clubs. The student may participate in activities and events with club members in order to complete the community service requirements.Our goal is to get the students into the community.
Humanitas is Laguna Blanca's Service Honors Society. In order to be inducted into Humanitas, a student must first complete the community service graduation requirements and then go beyond what's required to organize and implement his or her own community service project. An example of which would be for the student to assume a leadership role in a service project.
If you have any questions or require assistance in selecting a community service project, please contact Trish McHale at 687.2461 ext. 317 or tmchale@lagunablanca.org.
