SERVICE AWARDS
PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD
These awards honor those students the faculty feels have consistently contributed their time and effort to serve the school community and the community at large.
President Barack Obama is continuing the volunteer recognition program initiated in the 2002 State of the Union
address by President George W. Bush as he challenged all Americans to make time in their lives to assist their
neighbors, communities, the nation, and the world through service. As a result of this challenge, The Presidential
Volunteer Service Award program was developed to thank and honor citizens who met President Bush’s challenge. The council believes that recognizing and honoring volunteers sets a standard for others and encourages
them to answer the President’s call to service.
