Servitude in Action: GHS Eagle Serve Day 2025

On November 19, 128 Georgetown High School (GHS) student leaders kicked off the season of giving with acts of service, kindness and mentorship across elementary campuses.

Representing 21 GHS clubs, teams and organizations, student leaders did everything from cleaning storage rooms and decorating for Christmas, to serving lunch and spending time with their elementary counterparts.

The day started with an opening rally, where a guest speaker talked to the students about the connection between leadership and servanthood.

“The students launched into the day hoping to plant seeds and build legacies – for their organizations, for GHS, and for our community,” said Jonathan Colburn, the lead educator for GHS student leadership. “They did exactly that, and it was such a proud Eagle moment.”

This single day of service, known as “Eagle Serve Day”, carries a big impact. For our high school students, it instills core values of leadership and service. For our teachers, it brings some joy during a stressful time of the school year. And for our youngest learners, it sets an example for what leadership rooted in generosity and service looks like.

Mr. Colburn shared a special “thank you” to the organizations that participated in Eagle Serve Day:
