• Twelve (12) service hours are due per semester, equaling twenty (24) service hours per school year. 

  • Of the 12 required hours each semester, two hours will come from a mandatory service at EMS. The other hours must be true community service outside of the school day and must be separate from NJHS hours.

  • You will log your own service information on the Beta app by the deadline each semester. No exceptions will be made for late records, so do not wait until the last minute. Also, be specific---describe what you did for service. Do not leave the description blank!
