Giving Tree
Advisor: Chelsea Carpenter
The Giving Tree Program is a community service group designed for all grades. The group has a goal to fundraise money throughout the year in order to purchase gifts, winter clothing, and food for low-income families during the holiday season. The group sets up two trees in the school during early November with tags of gifts needed and then tracks the gifts as they are donated. In early December they host an open event where they sort all the donated gifts and then use the fundraised money to purchase any missing gifts.

National Honor Society
Advisors: Loren Messina, Michael Chew
The National Honor Society (NHS) elevates a school’s commitment to the values of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These four pillars have been associated with membership in the organization since its inception in 1921. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service. NHS students volunteer in their communities at the highest rates and make connecting with and serving within the community a priority.

NOLA Service Learning is a program designed for sophomores, juniors and seniors that involves many different community service activities, fundraising events, and a 7-10 day trip to New Orleans.
