Going to Duchesne is one of the best decisions I have made because it allowed me to further my involvement in my community through its emphasis on service. Duchesne has this program integrated into our education called Social Awareness . In my first two years of high school, I participated in a total of eight outside-of-school service projects as a way to fulfill Goal 3 of the Sacred Heart Goals. I enjoyed spending time with my classmates while also actively helping my community at the Food Bank and at a donation center for Harvey victims. Yet, my favorite part during Social Awareness was leaving campus every Wednesday to serve Edgewood Elementary. I appreciated the fact that Duchesne sees service as a fundamental component to our education and our development as Sacred Heart students. Volunteering at Edgewood has also allowed me to share my love for the environment to younger students as I was given the opportunity to start an environment club there.
