This is the first graduating class having to fulfill a requirement of 20 hours of community service before graduating. Students diplomas can be held if they do not fulfill the requirement according to head counselor Kathie Mahan.

“One year we had students at a variety of different places during testing days for upperclassmen,” said Mahan.

Another way you can get community service hours is with different classes you take. If you take Child Development I and then Child Development II you have the chance to get community service or A+ hours in your second semester of Child Development II.
