The Board of Education believes that participating actively in community service will enhance students' interpersonal skills and self esteem, enable them to connect their academic learning to the real world, and make them aware of the wide range of opportunities for service that exist in any community. The Board further believes that devoting time during a student's school years to serve others or the community as a whole may engender a life-long commitment to service, and, thereby, make this community or, any community where our graduates make a life, a better place.
