One way is a relationship between at least two parties. And any relationship requires a lot of give and take. The community’s relationship with LHS was one example of this. This system of give and take has been fine-tuned in the past years and it shows in the role of the community and the role of LHS students. Many programs existed to get LHS and the community together. For instance, there was EPIC Educational Participation In the Commun- ity. This program grants credit to students to volun- teer in such places as nursing homes, pre-schools, hospitals and the state legislature. The Career Exploration program offered another opportunity for the community and school to interact. Through Career Exploration, students could learn about the career they had chosen on a first hand basis. Students not only learned about their chosen career, but they also got experience that could be helpful in landing that first job. Other ways that LHS got involved in the com- munity included open house, student council pro- jects and citizenship issues volunteer hours. A relationship developed between school and community is an important one. And, it takes stu- dents who are Full of Life to make it work. 4—Outstanding Community
