Spartan Community Service Program
Spartan Community Service Program ~ LCHS College & Career Center (C³)
Program Description: The Spartan Community Service Program (SCSP) presents opportunities to LCHS students in grades 9-12 who perform community service, to be celebrated and awarded the Spartan Community Service Honor Cord. It is open to all LCHS students. In order to earn the Spartan Service Honor Cord, students must perform 100 hours of community service throughout their high school career, keep a log that documents their service, and submit this documentation to the LCHS Community Service Oversight Committee* by the published deadline in May of their senior year.
Objective: In recognition of the power and agency that youth possess in order to bring about improvements to their community, the nation, and the world, the Spartan Community Service program is created. Using their spirit of volunteerism, their energy, and vision to contribute to the betterment of the organizations in which they serve, LCHS 9-12 students engage in community service, keep track of their hours, and submit a community service portfolio in order to earn school recognition.
