Community Service

Community Service experiences at Lakehill are designed to raise students’ awareness of social issues and give them opportunities to meet a variety of community needs. By participating in such projects, students learn to be more sensitive to the needs of others and develop a solid commitment to service. Each grade participates in service projects which enhance classroom instruction and strengthen student relationships through team building. It is our goal to introduce students to various community causes.

Class Organization Service Projects

Students in every grade work together to plan and execute a variety of service projects throughout the year. All Lakehill students are encouraged to actively participate in the Adopt-A-Shoreline program at White Rock Lake, volunteering monthly to preserve this neighborhood treasure.

In addition, the school maintains a regular route with Meals on Wheels, delivering meals two to three times each month, and hosts a Little Free Library on the Roger L. Perry campus.
