Graduation Requirements
Service learning requirements for all high school students:
During the high school years, students are required to complete 100 hours of community service as part of the service learning graduation requirement. Students have an extensive variety of projects to choose from in the List of High School Service Learning Opportunities above.
It is important to note that students must complete the hours during their time in High School. Therefore, if they completed the hours in 8th grade we don't count those towards High School.
Types of Service Hours
There are two types of service hours, type A and B.
“A" hours can be described as opportunities off campus. For example, helping the community by volunteering with an environmental institution, helping at a local hospital, visiting an orphanage, etc.
The "B" hours are usually earned by helping our ASFG community in some way. For example, students could help collect trash, promote a green school to their friends, assist teachers or administrators, organize events, etc.
Students need at least 50 A hours, but that is not the limit for A hours. They can earn all 100 hours as "A" or they can earn 50 A and 50 B. We know that volunteering on campus is a good opportunity to learn how to serve our community and work as a team. And we encourage our students to complete the majority of their hours off campus and ensure that they are gaining experiences outside ASFG.
