In an effort to encourage responsible citizenship, Fuqua School students are required to complete a total of 40 hours of community service during their upper school years as a requirement for graduation. Participation in community service provides opportunities for students to become involved in the needs and concerns of others. The Fuqua School Silver Service Award celebrates the seniors who have served more than 100 hours in the community. These students deserve special recognition because they exemplify the attitude of service that is fostered at Fuqua School. These students received a distinctive silver cord to wear during commencement exercises. Graduates from the Fuqua School Class of 2018 representing over 1,100 hours of community service pictured are, from left, front row, Hannah Smith, Tori Case, Brooke Tyree, Hannah Palmore, Morgan Lindsay, Claire Watson; second row, Commencement Speaker – The Honorable Donald C.
