ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO DO A MINIMUM OF 40 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE TO GRADUATE.

Students Have Two Options for the Required Community Service:

1. Complete 40 hours of service without credit.
   This service time can be completed evenings, weekends, and during vacations (including summer).
   
2. Complete 100 hours of service for 1/2 credit.
   This service may be completed during the school day or as agreed upon by the agency and school. It is possible to receive up to 3 full credits on a student's transcript for community service, corresponding to 600 hours of service. Placements for service beyond the first 1/2 credit must be within significantly different areas or be upgraded experiences for the student.
