THE COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU!
Overview of Groves Service Requirement:
Students are required to complete 10 hours of service during the trimester that they take Health class (usually junior or senior year). Additional hours are also required for membership in the National Honor Society, and service projects are often supported through classrooms, teams, and other school groups. All of this involvement helps develop you as a community steward and increases your appeal to NHS, scholarship boards, leadership opportunities, employers, future colleges, and more! Extensive service also makes you eligible for the President's Volunteer Service Award.COMMUNITY SERVICE SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDSGroves Rotary International ScholarshipOne scholarship award of $750 will be awarded to one student selected by the Rotary International Scholarship Committee.
