Wildcat Star Service

 

Purpose

The Wildcat Star Service Program promotes student volunteerism. Students will be made aware of service opportunities, given opportunities to lead service projects, held responsible for tracking their service hours and accomplishments, and recognized publicly at graduation (indication in the program and by a cord/medal). 

 

The goal is to recognize students who have contributed to their community or school by volunteering their time and talents. An increasing number of scholarship applications require applicants to list service experiences. Additionally, volunteer time often leads to employment and future educational opportunities as well as helps students to understand the connection between school, work, and community.
