Community Service
"Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more,
but those giving more." ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian School celebrates the pursuit of individual excellence and the spirit of collaboration. Therefore, community service has been at the heart of our school since its inception. Community service aims to engage Scholars in thoughtful, intentional, and purposeful activities as responsible citizens to make an impact locally and globally. Pilibos embraces global competencies as necessary skills that encourage students to view the world as interconnected, emphasizing the importance of continually informed awareness of global conditions and perspectives, including ways to collaboratively identify paths to lasting solutions.
All 9th-12th grade Scholars are required to complete 100 hours of community service off campus by the time they graduate high school. Since this is a graduation requirement, Scholar hours are logged by counselors. A comprehensive list of community service opportunities is available in the Scholar Support Center. As soon as you begin accumulating hours, please complete a community service hours verification form, have your site supervisor sign it, and return the form to the counselor to log your hours.
