Students may go in and record hours from previous school years (9-12). If students have specific questions, please refer to the following information or they may email me at [email protected]. We want all students to earn the Community Service Learning Credit upon graduation. They only need 75 hours cumulatively throughout their high school years. They need to resubmit the form each time they enter a separate community service activity. All Community Service activities in which a school employee was present will count toward these hours. If a student completed the CSL activity with another company or community entity and no school employee was present, please refer them to me. We can submit a form to the school board and ADE for approval.

Community Service Learning Credit Information
