Students must complete 50 hours each year beginning with their sophomore year.
All hours must be with a non profit agency and students cannot be paid or receive compensation.
There is no “double dipping”.
Ex : Your NHS hours are for NHS only.
Hours done over summer can be applied to the previous school year, upcoming school year, or be split between the two.
