SST30CP2 COMMUNITY SERVICE - 1 credit
As a prerequisite for successful citizenship, Ipswich High School expects each student to make a significant contribution to the community. Community Service (giving back) embodies a core value that every good citizen embraces. All students will experience the personal rewards of serving the needs of the community’s social fabric by donating their time and skills to advance worthy institutions and endeavors.
Ipswich High School expects every student to complete an approved Community Service Project during their high school experience. These projects will be a minimum of 30 hours in duration. Unless the organization has been pre-approved by the high school, all projects must be approved in advance by the high school principal or his designee. Project completion will be monitored by the Community Service Coordinator for completion. Projects will be graded on a Pass/Fail basis. Any student that has not completed their community service requirement by the end of their junior year will receive a grade of “F” indicating that they have not yet met this requirement. Seniors will have until the end of the first quarter of their senior year to earn a passing grade for their service requirement.
Information regarding service opportunities for students and a list of pre approved organizations can be found on the high school website and at the links below:
