As part of the graduation requirements, students are required to complete
hours towards a Service Learning Requirement.
Beginning with the class of 2014, (the 2008-2009 7th graders), students will
be required to complete 24 hours of outside Service Learning and 51 hours of
curriculum infused hours through social studies and science.
All outside Service Learning must include a preparation, an action, and a
reflection component in order to be considered valid hours. In addition,
students should complete their service learning experience at approved
locations. Hours should be completed at non-profit organizations, with the
exception of nursing homes, licensed daycares and hospitals. Hours should be
documented on the new Service Learning Verification form, which can be found
in the guidance office.
