Middle School students continue their service learning journey with a stronger emphasis on cultivating student voice and focusing on neighborhood partnerships and issues. The Office of Global and Community Engagement works with Middle School faculty to develop grade-wide and House programming, leveraging relationships with Dalton and outside community organizations. This work instills in our students a sense of connection and responsibility to our local communities. -
