Volunteer Hours

Volunteer Hours Required for Graduation

Starting with the Class of 2028 and going forward, volunteer hours are required for graduation (see below); however, all students Bluejays of all ages are encouraged to develop a habit of giving back.  Volunteer hours may be counted for anything you do that helps someone else in the community, isn’t a chore or expectation at home, and you don’t get paid for it. Print out a volunteer form and have it signed by whomever you volunteer for then turn them into Mrs. Walker.
