Community Service is a concept that embraces the idea that learning is a lifelong process; therefore, education should be a lifetime opportunity.

The D.C. Everest Community Service program provides all residents of the D.C. Everest Area School District with opportunities in community education that otherwise would be unavailable or inaccessible to them. These opportunities are offered in vocational and advocational education, cultural presentations, social gatherings and recreational activities. Programs are provided on the basis of a demonstrated interest or need in specific area, the identification and coordination of resources to serve the need, the availability of school facilities, and the age range of the public to be served, be it preschoolers, youth, adults, senior citizens, or the community as a whole. A few of the activities the Community Service Office offers to the youth of our district include the following: swim lessons, gymnastics classes, a flag football program, a boys’ and girls’ basketball program, an indoor soccer program and preschool classes.

The Community Service Office also facilitates the use of school facilities for community use. The D.C. Everest School Board and the area schools recognize that its buildings and facilities can be a valuable asset to the community. Therefore, they encourage participation and involvement in the use of school facilities by community groups when such uses do not interfere with regular school activities.

Community Service helps bring community members together through program offerings and through the use of the school facilities. Community Service is one way the school district links the schools and community together.
