Student Projects in the Community Through a wide variety of clubs, honor societies, sports teams, and arts organizations, Manassas Park High School students are very active in the community. Their efforts are generally directed to one of three goals: • Community Service • Fund Raising for a Charitable Cause • Fund Raising to support School Activities
Student Projects in the Community Here are some of the activities that MPHS students participate in: • Food Drives • Toy Drives • Clothing Drives • Supply Drives • Blood Drives • Relay for Life • March of Dimes • Locks of Love • Reading to Kids • School beautification • Animal adoptions • Read Across America • “Be a Santa to a Senior”
The Most Active School Programs • Beta Club • SCA • Sports Teams • Community Service “Class”
Parent Involvement Parent involvement at Manassas Park High School is modest but meaningful. Parents can contribute their time and efforts to helping raise funds for sports teams. Parents can also join the Manassas Park PTSO to offer support to school activity.
Business Partnerships Manassas Park High School has relationships with: • Chick-Fil-A • Wal-Mart • Metro Sign and Design • Lockheed Martin • Crossroads Counseling Center • New Horizons Counseling • Lion’s Club • Rotary Club • Chamber of Commerce • Road Dawgs • Camp 4 Alarm
Business Partnerships Manassas Park students contribute to these businesses in several ways. • Advertising (signs, yearbook, programs) • Manual labor • Clerical work
Weaknesses Parent Involvement is modest at best, especially from the ESL community. School could benefit from a full-time community outreach coordinator. Because we are so small, we remain relatively unknown in the greater community. Advertising for school events could be more aggressive.
