Community Service
Many of you are already involved in community service activities. To document the hours you earn, open and print the Community Service form PDF.pdf. After completing the form, deliver it to Mrs. Cauble or Mrs. Brenner in the guidance suite for processing. The guidelines to define community service are also listed on the second page of the form. It is defined as simply giving one’s time back to the community by sharing one’s talents, time and resources. Moreover, upon the completion of this documentation of at least seventy-five service hours, students can meet the community service requirement of the Florida Academic Scholars Program.
