Service Hours FAQs:

How does this form work?

This form can be turned in to Ms. Cook either after you've completed the required hours OR as you do an activity. The form must have a supervisor's signature (handwritten, not typed) and their email address to be counted. Once approved, the officers will log the hours. Paper copies are available in Ms. Cook's office.

What if I do more than the required 5 hours for NHS?

Anything over 5 hours can be used toward the 15 hour requirement.

What if I do more than the total 20 hours required for membership?

Keep your own personal record, we will not track them after 20 hours

But keep doing good things….community service hours and activities look great on college and scholarship applications.

What if I don’t get enough hours by the end of the school year?

Talk to Ms. Cook or Mr. Spiers.

Can I use hours that I earned from working crew or for another honor society?

No, you cannot use the same activity for two separate service requirements or if you are receiving a grade for a class. Also, if you are a student ambassador for your focus area (think open house, adjudication or shadow days), you cannot count those hours for NHS OR if you are using them toward a requirement or grade. This is called double-dipping and is not allowed.

Does peer tutoring count for service hours?

Yes, it counts toward the 15-hour requirement for outside hours.
