Community Service Form

Hertford County Early College High School

Community Service Program Requirements

As a graduation requirement, each student must complete a minimum of forty hours of community service.  

Purpose:

The school defines community service as an act completed that helps a public school, town or city government, or a recognized non-profit organization actively participate in a service supporting our community. The purpose of the high school community service requirement are to develop relationships between the school and community; provide diversified experiences for students; support the mission statements of the high school and the school district; expand district community service experiences; foster self-discipline, responsibility, respect, and empathy for others. Community service may not serve immediate family members, relatives, or any institution where possible exploitation for financial gain could happen. Any activity completed during school hours under the banner of community service must receive prior approval from Mr. Kinkead and Principal. Students are encouraged to seek opportunities outside of their usual "circle." Hertford County Early College will provide various options for students each year during the school year.

Procedures: 

Upon completing community service activities, students need to complete the online form (see below). Each form must be turned in within 30 days of the completion of service projects that are done during the school year. If the community service is not acceptable, the student will be contacted by the staff. It would be in the students’ best interest to seek approval from Mr. Kinkead before completing community service to ensure it is acceptable.  

Students must have a picture of them at the event.

Students who have questions about community service hours should contact Mr. Kinkead. As a reminder, students must complete the online Form to receive credit for community service. 

**Mr. Kinkead will no longer accept paper copies of community service forms. All forms must be uploaded through the online platform. Once uploaded, Mr. Kinkead will receive a notification, and if there are questions, Mr. Kinkead will email the student within the next three school days upon submission.
