Student Opportunities
Hilger Philanthropist Club
We encourage students to be involved in the community at large. For this reason we have supported the Hilger Philanthropist club. The Philanthropist Club is dedicated to helping the community and encouraging students to get involved in their community. Initially started by James Kwee, this group of students meets once a month to plan a variety of different philanthropy initiatives. A couple of club highlights are their annual Hilger Talent Show fund raiser, Thanksgiving’s Canned Food Drive, their work with the charity organization Cheerful Givers, and also volunteering at a host of different places.
Calvin Donaldson Environmental Science Academy
Speaking of volunteering, we have several students, staff and parents who give their time, energy and resources to Calvin Donaldson Environmental Science Academy. Calvin Donaldson is an elementary (K-5th grade) school located in an urban setting in south Chattanooga, right near the foot of Lookout Mountain, in the Alton Park area. The students are largely African-American and from underprivileged families. They are on the failing schools list and receive extra Federal funding to address the academic deficiencies, but this still does not even come close to meeting their needs academically. Volunteers help with basic reading, writing and math skills. Students and adults go once a week or bi-weekly on the same day at the same time. This sort of regularity helps create continuity for the kids, the teacher and the volunteer. The availability for volunteers is anytime between 8:30am and 3:00pm. There are even opportunities for families to participate together. Staff of Hilger and parents of Hilger students are good friends with those who work at and place volunteers at Calvin Donaldson. Lastly, please be reassured that the campus of Calvin Donaldson is a safe place for you and/or your children to participate.
For information on how to participate, please contact Wil Honeycutt or by calling him at 423-821-3344
