Is Community Service at Southwestern required?

No one’s twisting arms here, but at Southwestern Academy, community service is so baked into the culture that most students jump in willingly. It’s not a requirement in the rulebook sense, but it’s definitely a big part of student life. Once you see your classmates spending weekends helping others, it becomes kind of contagious. Service is treated less like homework and more like a badge of honor—something you want to do. The school encourages it, celebrates it, and makes it super easy to get involved. So while it’s not technically required, let’s just say opting out is about as rare as spotting a student who hasn’t volunteered at least once.
