Community Service


“Community service is altruistic and is a vital part of many small communities. Getting involved in your community makes it healthier and livelier. Things which could be considered community service include tutoring children, building homes in low income areas, assisting the elderly, socializing animals at animal shelters, contributing to the operations of volunteer fire departments and emergency services, or helping with civic beautification” (WiseGeek, 2011).
Independence High School as an institution pledges to provide every opportunity for its students to develop good moral character, pursue academic excellence, develop problem-solving skills and grow into knowledgeable, open minded, creative and confident young men and women. Therefore, this new and revised community service format will lend itself to develop our students’ community-centered learning and appreciation for giving back to their communities that have and are supporting them in their pursuit of education.
