As part of our graduation requirement, each student needs to have completed 20 hours of community service hours prior to graduating.
It is recommended that students perform 5 hours of community service each school year instead of accumulating the hours within one school year. Deadline for Seniors to submit hours is February 15th 2020. Students are required to fill out a community service hours form and return the completed form to the Library Media Center.
Students can view service hours through their Infinite Campus Portal and are encouraged to keep track of their own hours.
