Community Service

Service to others is an integral part of a Canterbury education. The school's goal is to help students understand that we all have an obligation to improve the community in which we live.

There are many service opportunities available throughout the year and into the summer for students in all grades. Some projects are school-wide, such as creating personal care packages to be sent to troops in Iraq. Others are grade-specific, such as the senior class working with Habitat for Humanity.

The choice of service project may be traditional for the school, as when students on the Hough Campus collect items to donate to Sallie House, an outreach program of the Salvation Army. Most important, they may also be initiated by students, as in the case of the school-wide recycling project begun by two sophomore girls or participation in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life by members of Canterbury's Interact Club.

As a way of encouraging students to be involved in their community, each student must have at least 40 hours of service in order to graduate. Those who wish to qualify for Florida's Bright Futures Scholarships need at least 75 hours. Older students also have the opportunity to fulfill community service during miniterm weeks in the fall and spring. During miniterm, students have interned at Ronald McDonald House, staffed the St. Petersburg Free Clinic food bank, provided office support at the Florida Holocaust Museum and completed coastal clean-ups with Tampa Bay Watch as part of Canterbury's Marine Studies program.

In keeping with our mission to educate the whole child, we believe it is critical for students to understand their personal responsibility in the context of the nuclear family, the Canterbury community, and the greater community-at-large.
