Being a Crosby Scholar is as Easy as...
Academy
Students are required to attend one (1) Academy each school year. Academies are workshops that prepare scholars with skill sets for life after high school. Sessions are available to register and offered in-person or virtually via Zoom.
Community Service
Students who volunteer are more connected with their communities. We require scholars complete two (2) hours of community service* each school year my the deadline. For the school year of 2025-2026 the deadline is April 1st, 2026. For more community service opportunities, take a look at our Student Community Service Opportunities.
