Community Service | 2023 - 2024
Our students have achieved something truly remarkable - together, they've completed an astounding 3,763 community service hours across 151 organizations in the upstate!
This accomplishment is a testament to the dedication, compassion, and hard work of each and every student at Lead Academy. Through their efforts, they have not only made a difference in the lives of those they've served but have also embodied the values we hold dear as a school community.
Your unwavering support and encouragement have played a pivotal role in instilling the values of service and compassion in our students. By making community service a priority within your families, you have helped create a culture where giving back is not just a task but a way of life.
We also extend our deepest gratitude to the organizations who welcomed our students, providing them with invaluable opportunities to learn, grow, and give back. Their partnership is truly invaluable.
Let us take a moment to celebrate this incredible achievement and the positive impact it has had on our community. Together, we are shaping future leaders who understand the importance of service and empathy.
Congratulations to our students on this remarkable accomplishment! Your dedication to service inspires us all.
