Service+Learning

__**Service Learning**__ Service Learning is a "learn by doing" approach to the curricuum that combines active service to the community with academic study. Service Learning teaches students that they can make a difference in the community at the same time that they are learning. The goal of our program is to empower students to improve their community as well as their own problem solving and interpersonal skills. All students are encouraged to serve in various ways. Examples of student service include collection drives, volunteering at community based organizations, and advocating for change. The Maryland state service learning graduation requirement consists of 75 hours of service or a county approved program. In Cecil County students are responsislbe for completing one service learning project in grades 6, 7, 8, and 9. Completion of all four porojects will meet the MSDE requirement for earning a high school diploma.
