What Can I Learn From Community Service?

Did you know that prospective colleges look at more than your academic performance when is comes to admissions? Community service is one of the top four most important factors that colleges consider along with GPA/Class Rank, SAT/ACT tests and other extra-curricular activities. See your counselor for a service log and please participate in all of the service project opportunities that MHS offers during the school year. You can make a difference!

Volunteering teaches:

a sense of responsibility.By volunteering, you learn what it means to make and keep a commitment.You learn how to be on time for a job, do your best, and be proud of the results.But you also learn that, ultimately, we are responsible for the well-being of our entire community.
the knowledge that one person can make a difference.A wonderful, empowering message for a person is that you are important enough to have an impact on someone or something else.
the benefit of sacrifice.Helping with a task tells us that there are important things other than ourselves and our immediate needs.
tolerance.Working in community service can bring you in touch with people of different backgrounds, abilities, ethnicities, ages, and education and income levels.You will likely find that even the most diverse individuals can be united by common values.
job skills.Community service can help you decide on your future careers.Learning to work as a team member, taking on leadership roles, setting project goals – these are all skills that can be gained by volunteering and will serve you well in any future career.
how to fill idle time wisely.If you aren’t involved in traditional after-school activities, community service can be a wonderful alternative.

Top 3 Reasons to Volunteer:

1. Meet new like-minded people

2. Change someone else’s life as well as your own.

3. Feel a sense of accomplishment and self fulfillment.

Beginning with students enrolled in 12th grade during the 2021-2022 school year, each senior student must do ONE of the following in order to graduate:

Complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the form you need to fill out to get any financial aid from the federal government to help pay for college, including community colleges, universities and technical schools. Each year, over 13 million students who file the FAFSA get more than $120 billion in grants, work-study, and low-interest loans from the U.S. Department of Education.

Complete and submit the Texas application for state financial aid (TASFA). Students classified as Texas Residents who are not eligible to apply for federal financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are encouraged to complete the TASFA

Submit a signed opt-out form (see attached). Students who wish to decline TEA’s graduation requirement will need their opt-out form signed by one of the following:

Option I: A student age 18 or older or emancipated minor under Chapter 31, Texas Family Code
Option II: The student’s parent or guardian and the student
Option III: A school counselor, for good cause as determined by the school counselor, and the student
