Our Upper School students (grades 9-12) participate in service learning through student led clubs or as part of a class. Student clubs at RHSM include Amnesty International, Community Service Council, Interact, National Honors Society, and foreign language clubs. These organizations are always seeking community projects for their members to do as a small or large group. Approximately half of our Upper School students are involved in at least one service learning club.

Courses that include a service learning component include AP Spanish and Spanish 2, AP English, US history, English literature, senior math applications, health, and ethics. Our Upper School students work with the largest number of agencies in our community ranging from the Salvation Army to Kids’ Café to No More Homeless Pets. In addition to direct service, many of our students are advocates for issues and concerns of interest to them.
