Community Service for 9th-12th Graders
Service to the school and community continue to be vital to a students personal growth and development during their high school careers. The Counseling office will collect and tally up community service hours as students hand them in throughout the year. Hours that are accumulated during 9th-12th grade count towards a unique honor that is place on students that earn enough community service hours throughout high school. Students who accumulate 60 community service hours during 9th-12th grade (must average 10 per year) will be able to earn a Diploma with Distinction. This is a separate seal that is placed on their diploma, denoting good citizenship. This honor is unique to Stockbridge Valley. Examples of community service opportunities include, but are not limited to: Blood Drives, peer tutoring (under the supervision of a teacher), Ruritan Community Fair, PTO, Scouts, Rescue Mission, Community Youth Athletic programs, food pantries or serving the elderly.
