Community Service

  • Students of the School District of Palm Beach County are required to obtain a minimum of 20 community service hours to graduate from high school.  Students must complete community service hours upon successful completion of 8th grade and by high school graduation. Community service is also a requirement for many scholarships (i.e., *Bright Futures) and college entrance programs. The purpose of community service is for students to engage in activities that help them develop an appreciation for the concept of service to the school or community.

     

    Please be sure that you are working on your community service hours! The requirement to graduate is 20 hours by December 1st of your junior year. If you are working toward your AICE Diploma, you need 100 hours and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND these hours are submitted by December 1st of your junior year as well. Forms are submitted ONLY ELECTRONICALLY, once completely filled out to Mrs. Mara J. Goron.
