Leo Club is a chance to make a difference. Its initials stand for Leadership, Experience, and Opportunity. It is our goal to provide service opportunities for high school students in both our school and community.

What does Leo Club do?

We volunteer in our community in as many ways as possible! As Leo’s, we strive to provide service to anyone who is in need of aid.

Contact one of our officers, or drop by Mrs. Linette’s room, to pick up an application. The application requires parental consent, or you can sign up at our table on Registration Day at the beginning of our school year.

Each member is required to complete 24 hours of community service by the end of their senior year. They are also required to attend at least two meetings per semester.  All students must also complete 6 hours of service per year.

What kind of activities does Leo Club get involved with?

We get involved in all kinds of activities! Our biggest event of the year is Operation Christmas Child, where we ask for donations, and then purchase, items for the less fortunate children of all ages, in all parts of the world.

We also buy or handmake greeting cards for the seniors at our local nursing home and visit with them at least once a year.
