Community and Service

The mission statement for our Community and Service Area of Interaction at North View Junior High School sets a goal for students to grow beyond intellectual achievement during the course of the school year. It is our intention to instill in students a personal value system through which to guide their own lives as thoughtful members of local communities and the larger world. The curriculum model places the student as a learner at its center; the next circle represents the place and role of the student in communities, from the immediate family and school environment to the world at large.

Giving importance to the sense of community throughout the Middle Years Program encourages responsible citizenship as it seeks to deepen student knowledge and understanding of the world around them. Students make connections between their intellectual and social development and the benefits that they can contribute to the community by asking themselves, “How can I make a difference?” Community and Service includes action and reflection inside as well as outside of the classroom. At North View, students discover the social reality of self, others, and community.

North View students did a Community and Service Project to collect school supplies for hurricane victims. Great job!
