"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." -- Winston Churchill
Students at Mt. Lebanon High School are encouraged to perform volunteer work throughout their school years. Volunteer work is not a requirement for graduation from the high school. In order to be considered for admission to the National Honor Society during a student's junior or senior year, ten hours of community service must be accumulated each academic year, beginning in the freshman year.
Community Service Guidelines
Students who are interested in pursuing membership in National Honor Society must complete ten service hours per school year--5 in-school and 5 out-of-school. Junior applicants should have accumulated a minimum of 20 service hours at the start of their junior year. Senior applicants should have accumulated a minimum of 30 service hours at the start of their senior year. Freshmen and Sophomores may turn in their hours any time before the conclusion of the school year. To learn more about National Honor Society, click HERE.
(Any junior or senior interested in applying for NHS must have had all of their community service completed and reported by March 4, 2022. Seniors who are already members of National Honor Society must have had their community service completed and reported by December 17, 2021.)
