TOWSON, MD. – While all Maryland students are required to complete at least 75 service-learning hours before graduation, many Baltimore County Public Schools students far exceed this minimum requirement – earning as many as 7,500 hours. The following students have earned the commendable distinction of being the top service-learning leaders at their schools: Alternative Education and Evening High Schools:  La'Quan Shelmann Catonsville High School:  Samantha Fitzpatrick Chesapeake High School:  Austin Cook Dulaney High School:  Sasha Maraj Dundalk High School:  Patrice Komboshi Eastern Technical High School:  Robert Wierzbicki Franklin High School:  Tracey Pyser George Washington Carver Center for Arts and Technology:  David Gleyzer Hereford High School:  Kelli Callaway Kenwood High School:  Kelly Berkemeier Lansdowne High School:  Jennifer Manor Loch Raven High School:  Amanda Becker Milford Mill Academy:  Michelle' Ruff-Byrd New Town High School:  Kendall Jones Overlea High School:  Jasmine McNeill Owings Mills High School: Daniel Melomet Parkville High School:  Gabrielle McClung Patapsco High School and Center for the Arts:  Brianna Roulhac Perry Hall High School:  Megan Erpenstein Pikesville High School:  Michelle Glazer Randallstown High School:  Shannon Jones Sparrows Point High School:  Kirsten Lacy Towson High School:  Madeline Stiso Western School of Technology:  Jacob Badin Woodlawn High School:  Shelby McNeill At upcoming BCPS commencement exercises, the 10 students at each BCPS high school who have accumulated the most hours will receive the Governor’s Volunteer Service Award along with a gold honor cord. In addition, these students are honored at senior award events at their schools. According to Sean Patterson, BCPS service-learning coordinator, service-learning combines meaningful community service with curriculum-based learning, allowing middle and high school students to deepen their understanding by applying classroom learning in the real world and then reflecting on that experience. The service-learning leaders have earned hours completing activities that include environmental restoration projects, rebuilding schools in the Dominican Republic, serving with local volunteer fire departments, assisting with therapeutic horseback riding camps and serving as summer camp counselors for younger children.
