On schoolwide days of service, parents, students of all ages, faculty, staff, and alumni, share in service towards the wider urban community. Past Days of Service have included work with GLIDE, SF Rec and Parks, and the San Francisco/Marin Food Bank.

The Career Mentorship Program allows high school students to explore work beyond school through networking and mentorship opportunities. The program entails an introductory course in the fall for all of Grade 10, which gives students an overview of the kind of projects, skills, and experiences would be expected for a variety of career paths. Students identify their passions and envision a specific project, ultimately connecting with a mentor in their field of interest. The program gives students real-world experience in student-defined areas of interest, and provides a springboard for potential internships or career development opportunities in Grades 11 and 12.

At our Salons, parents, faculty, alumni, and high school students get together to share and discover over drink and food in a round-table setting at the Arts Pavilion. In the spirit of learning and exchange, each Salon has a thought-provoking theme, such as bio-technology, political engagement, or intellectual property.

These free community events include food and drink, are part of our wider Urban Engagement Program, and feature members of our school community who share their expertise and spearhead conversation.
