Service Learning

Service Learning is a method of teaching that connects school-based curriculum with the inherent caring and concern young people have for the world - whether within their school, at a local food bank, or in a distant rainforest.When students apply what they are learning in ways that help others, the results are memorable and students will gain lessons that last a lifetime.

Whittier High School Service Learning partners with many community, national and global organizations including: 

•   Collecting food for and working at the Open Door Food Pantry

•   Serving students and teachers at Sedalia elementary schools in a variety of capacities

•   Raising funds for Pennies for Patients

•   Providing services for the Center for Human Services and the Sedalia Santa Campaign

•   Making blankets for the Pettis County Community Partnership to give out at the semi-annual homeless count
