Louisiana offers a Community Service Diploma Endorsement for students completing 80 service hours by graduation. These service hours are also a graduation requirement for a Willow School diploma. Students perform community service hours according to the following schedule:
Freshman Year-10 hours
Sophomore Year-20 hours
Junior Year-25 hours
Senior Year-25 hours
In general, students arrange for their own community service, however, the counseling office has information regarding approved service opportunities. All service hours must be approved and signed by an adult supervisor through forms available in the counseling office. Students are strongly encouraged to submit documentation of service hours as they complete them. Please stop by the guidance office if you have any questions.
Due to expected inclement/severe weather and out of an abundance of caution, The Willow School (all campuses) will close at 11:30 tomorrow (Monday). Aftercare and all after-school events are cancelled. Varsity girls basketball game TBD.
Willow alumna (Class of 2017) and Harvard University grad Samyra Cambrielle will perform the national anthem at today's home Saints game.

Come out to the Brees Family Field today at 2pm to see the current Willow soccer team take on the visiting Willow alumni players in this long-standing annual tradition. Go Lions (old and new)!
