SENIORS

April 30th is the deadline to enable students to graduate. Turn in paperwork to the Community Service Office (room A14). Students should talk to Terry Cho by March if they are having difficulty in fulfilling the requirement. Status lists are updated approximately every three weeks and posted outside the Community Service Office and Online. It is the student’s responsibility to keep an accurate record of hours worked.

It’s more than hours

When job, college and scholarship applications ask about community service they are looking for commitment to a cause or an organization, leadership and initiative — not for a specific number of hours. Thoughtful service can also offer opportunities to gain employment, awards and scholarships. We suggest resisting convenience and using service to stretch oneself.
