Service is an important part of the SLHS experience. Students and teachers participate in an annual all-school service day (Giving Day) before Christmas in addition to projects completed by students during the school year.
One component of our core values is community service, and it is an important part of the SLHS experience. Students and teachers participate in an annual all-school service day (Giving Day) before Christmas in addition to projects completed by students during the school year. This component reminds us that God, surrounded by others to care for and share Christ’s love through actions, places us all in a community. This is an opportunity for our young adults to begin preparing their hearts for giving their time and effort to others. A student may arrange their own service work. We will post opportunities in Schoology and in the weekly newsletter as they become available. We are proud of our young people and their servant hearts.
