PLHS began requiring community service again in 2007.  Each incoming class has incrementally more hours to complete until the class of 2011 and 2012 which must complete a minimum of 60 hours.  Current seniors (C/O 09) have 35 hours of community service to complete for senior exhibition and graduation. The C/O must complete a minimum of 45 hours.  These hours need to be verified with either a letter of recommendation/verification or log sheets.  More information is available under "students" then "community service".  For students wishing to apply for scholarships and to 4-year universities it is very important to complete community service.  Scholarship administrators and College Admittance offices weigh community service and extracurricular involvement equally important to grades and test results.  They are looking for a well-balanced and well-rounded student to award scholarships and admittance into their universities.

 

Best Works are classroom projects, reports, and/or assignments that highlight specific accomplishments or mastery of ESLRs skills or academic skills. Each year you should save a “Best Work” from each class so that by the time you are a senior and have to select pieces for your portfolio you have items to choose from.
