  Junior Service Projects
In conjunction with the Academic Fair, every Rivermont junior completes a community service project, performing a minimum of 15 hours of service.  Students then deliver a formal presentation, explaining how the experience not only benefited others, but affected them personally.  This year several students even donated time internationally over the summer.
