Service

Service Learning is a method through which students learn and develop by actively participating in thoughtfully organized service experiences. It is a blending of both service and learning goals in such a way that both occur and are enriched by each other.

As an outgrowth of the Queen of Peace Mission statement, "to promote dedication to service," each student will complete a minimum of 60 hours of community service as part of her graduation requirement.
Service hours can be completed individually or through team-, club- or class-sponsored projects. Students are encouraged to complete their community service requirements by the end of their junior year.

Goals of the Service Learning Program:

• To guide each student as she identifies and explores her talents and interests while in search of a volunteer site
• To encourage each student to develop attitudes and skills to work with others
• To enhance each student’s feelings of self-worth that come from making a contribution
• To encourage each student to meet and accept new challenges
• To deepen each student’s understanding of the Christian call to service
