Community Service Requirement
As a part of our commitment to fostering a culture of service and civic engagement, every student is required to complete a minimum of 15 community service hours per academic year. Please note that these hours do not include any disciplinary or National Honor Society (NHS) hours.
It is crucial that all students complete their required community service hours by the specified deadline. Failure to do so will result in the doubling of required hours for the following year. We believe this policy encourages accountability and reinforces the importance of active participation in community service endeavors.
If you or your child are looking for opportunities to complete the required community service hours during breaks, please consider reaching out to local nonprofits or community organizations.
