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.

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. The program kicks off in June before the school year ends. The time spent before the trip involves planning fundraisers and doing local community service projects such as volunteering in soup kitchens and homeless shelters.  When the group travels to New Orleans, the main focus is to help with the recovery efforts from Hurricane Katrina and other storms that ravaged the city and the surrounding area. Being part of the group and completing all required community service hours will qualify you for 2.5 credits.
