Developing students as citizens in their communities is integral to what we know encompasses a good middle and high school education. City Academy students are expected to build good habits of mind, heart, voice, and work that are demonstrated each day in our school community. As seniors, they complete service learning internship projects out in the larger community as a part of their graduation requirements. 

For young people to emerge from high school as respectful, responsible, proactive citizens they need opportunity to be involved at school in ways that help them develop those skills. At City Academy each year, every 7th through 12th grade student serves and learns on a school-wide committee that helps take care of an important aspect of our school community.
