Community Service
Lakehill Preparatory School students are involved in Community Service from Kindergarten through Grade 12. Through community outreach, Lakehill teaches students to embrace a spirit of volunteerism in the hopes of fostering a life-long passion for service.
Throughout the school year, Lakehill students are involved in many of Lakehill’s community service projects through a variety of hands-on projects. Students are encouraged at every grade to give back to our community. Some initiatives include organizing activities at local nursing homes, preparing sandwiches for the homeless, delivering Meals on Wheels, as well as organizing canned food and toy drives, and writing letters to soldiers overseas or their families at home.
As a UNICEF Ambassador School, Lakehill students learn about the global community. Through their participation in the annual “Trick or Treat” drive for UNICEF, Lakehill students touch the world with their annual contributions.
Lower School students are actively involved in Lakehill’s Recycling Program and in the Adopt-A-Shoreline program at White Rock Lake, volunteering monthly to preserve this neighborhood treasure. These programs educate our students about the world’s natural resources and the benefits of using them in a sustainable manner.
Middle School students are actively involved in Lakehill’s Recycling Program by routinely collecting and recycling various items. Students also actively participate in the Adopt-A-Shoreline program at White Rock Lake, volunteering monthly to preserve this neighborhood treasure. Lakehill was named the Adopt-A-Shoreline Volunteer Group of the Year in 2010, 2016, and again in 2019. These programs educate our students about the world’s natural resources and the benefits of using them in a sustainable manner.
Lakehill Upper School students complete thousands of hours of volunteer service throughout the year, partnering with a variety of community organizations. Class and club service projects are ongoing throughout the year, as well as frequent service opportunities through the Warrior Outreach Organization (WOO). Each year many Lakehill students are honored with the President’s Volunteer Service Award.
