Community Service

At Laguna Blanca School, our Mission Statement affirms community service as a vital part of school life—woven into the fabric of our educational experience. We are committed to engaging students in a wide range of service-learning opportunities that cultivate not only knowledge but also compassion and civic responsibility. Through these experiences, students discover the meaningful impact their time, care, and effort can have on others. In doing so, they develop habits of mind and heart that are essential for meaningful participation in the community. Their service work instills a lasting sense of accomplishment, independence, and personal responsibility, shaping them into more thoughtful, engaged, and purpose-driven individuals. 

Middle School students will complete their service hours by participating in service-learning projects organized and administered through the advisory program. Students may also complete service work outside of school.

Upper School students will complete and document a minimum of 16 service hours to meet the graduation requirement. Hours can be received through participation in service clubs on campus or through participation in the community.

Students must document their service hours by completing a Community Service form linked below and returning it to Trish McHale. Forms are available online, in the main office, or from Ms. McHale.
