Upon graduation, students who have completed 200 hours or more of community
service during their high school years will be awarded a Diploma with
Distinction for Community Service.
Community service is voluntary time (without compensation) spent on selfless
acts which benefit the school community and/or the wider community.
Community service can be fulfilled in the service of a school, community, or
religious affiliation.
All community service hours must be returned within 45 days of the completion
of an activity. The Milford Board of Education form is the preferable means
of recording hours. However, certain providers of hours can attest to a
student's participation with a testimonial letter or their own form. Sign-
offs will be accepted from adults, other than a relative (unless the relative
is the chair of an event), who can attest to the student's participation and
hours.
In order to be counted for graduation, all seniors must have their forms in
by May 1 of their graduation year.
These activities would be excluded: community service for school activities
that are self-serving to the student or organization and court mandated
community service.
