Praxis

Praxis provides students with the opportunity to engage in community service through their athletic requirement.  Students have the opportunity to take part in Praxis on a term-by-term basis.  Each term the program includes a combination of community service, reflection, education, and fitness.  Students typically spend two afternoons at a local community service site and two afternoons engaging in educational and reflective material and doing any number of group fitness activities each week. 

Each term, the Praxis program is structured around a theme, which incorporates a partnership with one or more local community volunteer sites.  Past terms have included mentoring seventh graders as part of a focus on educational inequity, environmentally focused volunteer work during a sustainability program, and working with a area meal kitchens and shelters as part of a hunger and homelessness program.
