Community service has become an integral part of the Wheeler culture; however, it is not a requirement for graduation. Many students take advantage of this opportunity to help others and make a difference at school and in the community. These opportunities provide our students an avenue to meet others and develop leadership and life skills, which often make a difference in earning a scholarship, being accepted into college of their choice, and obtaining a job or internship.
How to Earn a Letter:
You must earn a total of 45 documented volunteer hours that are from a Wheeler related event. While in years past we have only recognized hours that were logged in direct service to Wheeler High School, we are now allowing students to log volunteer hours performed outside of school.
Students will be notified of their award which will be handed out at an announced ceremony during the fall semester. To obtain the Wheeler Service Letter students must pay dues in the amount of $10 through MyPaymentsPlus.
How to Earn a Service Medallion:
Students who have logged a total of 180 hours or more of community service by the end of their senior year are eligible to receive the Service Medallion which may be worn at graduation. Medallions will be awarded in early May.
