COMMUNITY SERVICE

Community Service is a way of learning through experiences.  Through Community Service students gain and apply academic, career, and social skills by addressing authentic community needs.  Students at Sheldon High School are required to take part in community service.  Students in 9th and 10th grade are required to complete 20 hours, and 11th and 12th grade students are required to complete 25 hours in their junior and senior years at Sheldon High School.  Special recognition will be given to students on their transcripts and at graduation.

Community Service may begin in June and continue to accumulate until one week before the end of school.
