Community Service

Community Service Opportunities

Students are responsible for making the necessary contacts to schedule service projects. The community service coordinator  can provide information regarding potential projects and pre-approval of project ideas. All projects must  meet the district guidelines for service projects.

Lee's Summit West High School Community Service Program Form

At Lee’s Summit West, community service cards are available in the A+ office or in the Counseling office. Service cards should be taken to the service site  at the time the work is completed and must be signed by an adult supervisor.  All information on the cards should be complete.

All students receiving a diploma from a Lee’s Summit high school must complete 10 hours of approved community service.  

Those minimum, approved hours should be submitted to the high school’s community service coordinator to remain a part of the student’s permanent file. Students are asked to complete the service requirement by the end of the junior year. New students to the district  who enroll the second semester of their senior year must complete five hours of service. 

Students participating in the A+ program may use their tutoring/ mentoring hours to fulfill their graduation service requirement. It is,  however, the students’ responsibility to show proof of time spent. All  final paperwork must be submitted in person to the community service  coordinator for approval and a signed receipt copy.
