Community Service
Chaminade requires all students to participate in community service projects annually. Middle school students (grades 6 – 8) complete 10 – 20 hours annually while high school students complete 25 – 50 hours each year. Students help numerous groups throughout the St. Louis area. Recent Spring Break community service trips have been in “Coal Country” in West Virginia, Mexico, Africa and Haiti.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or service:
“As blacks, we need not be afraid that encouraging moral development, a conscience and guilt will prevent social action. Black children without the ability to feel a normal amount of guilt will victimize their parents, relatives and community first. They are unlikely to be involved in social action to improve the black community. Their self-centered personalities will cause them to look out for themselves without concern for others, black or white.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“Mr. Speaker, at a time when the nation is again confronted with necessity for calling its young men into service in the interests of National Security, I cannot see the wisdom of denying our young women the opportunity to serve their country.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
