LCMR Guidance Office - Community Service
In addition to your academic requirements, students should be involved in Community Service.
Community Service is a very important part of the high school experience. Not only do colleges consider this a determining factor on acceptance, but it also can be a rewarding and life altering experience. Through community service, many young adults find interests that can lead to career choices in the future.
