Community Service
Students will benefit from the opportunity to make meaningful connections and enrich the lives of others by providing unpaid service for individuals or public organizations for the benefit of the community. Service must be performed outside of school hours unless under the supervision of the classroom teacher and directly tied to the curriculum (service-learning).
-
- Students must complete a total of 20 hours between September first of their freshman year and senior year. It is highly recommended that this requirement be completed by June of their sophomore year. For those that have not done so, all community service hours must be submitted by the end of May of their graduating year. If the deadline is not met:
- Student and parents will be notified via email and a meeting will take place with the student to create a plan as to how the hours will be completed (by June 1 of their graduation year).
- Students will have until June 1 to have completed their plan/hours.
- All community service must be performed without monetary reward.
- The community service must benefit at least one person other than the student or the student’s relative(s).
- Students may select their own sites to complete their community service hours. The Graduation Requirements Guide includes a list of organizations to help students get started. There is also a link below. Additionally, opportunities are made available during the morning announcements and on the local opportunities link off of the community service page. If a student has a question about whether or not a volunteer activity will count as community service they should meet with the Community Service Coordinator.
- Students may use community service hours performed with a club and/or school sports team. To earn the credit you must have personally put in the hours and your advisor/coach must verify your performance.
- Students are responsible for travel to and from the community service sites that are located off campus. Community service is a requirement to be considered as other assignments that may require travel time and completion of assignments outside of the local school.
