Community Service Hour Requirements
All students will be required to complete community service hours. These hours will change as students grow in maturity and ability.
At least half of a student's community service hours must be completed with an organization they or their parents are not affiliated with.
Students are required to volunteer with at least two different organizations. We believe that by engaging with a variety of community groups, students can create more meaningful connections and gain diverse experiences
Please read all community service expectations.
