Community Service

The school district has deemed it necessary for all students to perform 40 hours of community service as a graduation requirement. These hours may be started the day after successful completion of the eighth grade, and must be completed, documented, and submitted no later than December 23rd of the student’s graduation year. A large range of opportunities are presented which will qualify for community service hours, with the underlying criteria being that community service may not be performed for compensation and that no community service hours may be performed in a “for profit” enterprise, or for family members. Questions regarding the applicability of a service activity should be directed to the school counselor.
