Metro Academic and Classical High School

Schoolwide Community Service

At the core of a Metro education is service to the community, one of the fundamental principles for which Metro was established. Every student must complete 200 hours of community service to graduate. In the 2022-23 school year, the Metro team instated designated schoolwide days of service so that we may more intrinsically involve service in our identity as a school community. On schoolwide service days, students and staff go out to serve in other SLPS schools or local community organizations in the City of Saint Louis with the intention of our students transforming into compassionate leaders committed to serving others.

All Metro students are expected to attend and actively participate in a minimum of two schoolwide service days. These days are an important part of our school culture and commitment to community service. To ensure full participation, students should not request early dismissal on scheduled service days. We appreciate your support in making these experiences meaningful for all.
