Tucker Middle International Baccaluareate World School

Community and Service Program

The motto of Tucker Middle School is an inward focus on learning and an outward focus on service. Community and Service is a major component of the International Baccalaureate Progamme.  Tucker Middle School has established a community and service program that affords all students the opportunity to participate.  Students complete a form describing the service and write a reflection about the service they have completed.  If a student completes 12 hours or more he or she will receive a community and service award.  The top five students  receive a trophy and are in the Tucker Middle School Community and Service Hall of Fame.  This year our students compiled over 4000 hours of community and service.
