Community Service

Students must have 100 documented hours of community service to graduate.

In order to verify hours a letter must be obtained from the adult in charge of the activity. The letter should contain the date, an overview of activities performed, the number of hours served, and the adult's signature. This should be brought to the Cornerstone office for inclusion on the student's transcript. Volunteer work must be done for a non-profit entity, not an individual.
