The History Department has a program that requires students to build their citizenship skills by getting involved in their community. Guidance is as follows:
Graded activity=up to 10% of the gradeStudents will complete community service hours as follows (= about one hour per month):
• 6th Grade – 6 hours: doing such things as on-campus activities or involvement in the local area; in at least 2 activities.
• 7th Grade – 9 hours: on-campus, neighborhood and local area; in at least 2-3 activities.
• 8th Grade – 12 hours: on-campus and local community with an additional two-hour requirement to learn more about our political processes (e.g., attend community council meeting) in at least 3 activities plus political process.
Community Service

Nota Bene (Latin for note well):
• All community service must be approved by the student’s parent/guardian.
• Each hour must be verified by the parent and event volunteer coordinator with a signature and initials on the record keeping sheet.
• Each line represents ONE hour of service.
We encourage parents/guardians to be active participants to help build future responsible citizens.
