Just out of curiosity, does your school require you to perform a certain amount of Community Service in order to graduate from H.S.?

40 hours.

No, but it is recemended if you want to get into a godd college.

My private school religion class required 6 hours every 9 weeks, but that wasn't mandatory to graduate. And the most community service that may get done at my public school would be the students going to jail and picking up trash on the side of the road.

no, but its needed for things like class president, peer leadership, maybe honor society and maybe advanced regents diploma. I know its looked highly upon by my principal, and its easy to do when you have 3 floods in your town in the last 2 years.

30 hours

i had to do it in Middle School but not High school

uhh.... I dont know *beer*

:o Are you serious???? How could you not know if it's required?

Yeah, I haven't checked..... oh well I still have more than 2 and a half years to graduate, no need to worry about that now....

yeah if i need any ill do it all my senior year.

When I was in High school I had to do 40 hours community service... it's required to get your diploma in the province of Ontario...

Hahaha, no community service for me!

They call is "service learning", and usually you do your service learning for the year in a specific class where everybody does the same thing like last year we had to job shadow.

I needed 15 hours to graduate. And I did 0 lol. I'm scared one day someone is gonna tell me I'm gonna have to take your diploma away. I seriously don't know how I got away with it. Guess they don't take it serious.

No but its needed to get into clubs like National Honor Society.

Not that I know of, My brother doesn't do it so I guess not.

Yeah in health class sophmore year they require us to do 12 weeks of a "Service Learning Project" 1 hour a week

WTF????

Anyways...like nath said, we need 40 Hours to get our High School Diploma which sucks kinda because i didn't start yet and I wanna get like 200 hours so it'll be easier to get into University.

Dude, getting into university is easy, trust me. The hard part is doing well in university.

you have to have like some 90 average in ALL of your courses in Grade 12....

Man, some people from my highschool who had a 65 average got accepted to various universities. It's not hard. Mind you, they're going to fail miserably once they get there, but still, getting accepted isn't hard if you have the money. Now, if you don't have the money, then getting amazing grades and community service are crucial towards getting scholarships. But just to get accepted, not a problem.

Are you talking about Universities like University of Toronto?

Well, I didn't apply there and I don't know anyone who did, so no...

Maybe the universities strickness of acceptance varies from province to province because I've heard you need like an averaage very close to or over a 90 to get into the better universities..

Yeah, but if you want to get into a good college, or have a lot of it paid by scholarships you have to do real well and do a lot of community service.

150 + 40 hours of Christian service.

800 hours

wholy shit...

Man i hope you are kidding......if not then *ROFL*

programs vary...for my program...i wasnt even give early acceptanc einto my program and i ahd a 92 average

basically 4000 ppl applied for my program and 32 got in...but if u r doing business at york then a 70 will get u in

Yeah, only community service I have to do.

at the university here... you need a 70% overage or better in University courses you take in high school. Or you could go the route I m going... and go to college before heading into University. All you need is a 3.5 GPA to get into University. not that hard at all.

I had to do 50 hrs to graduate here in New Rochelle.

But I was in the National Honors Society, National Honor Roll, and all that, and didn't even attend their meetings, but I still got the medals, :D

No, I will do some in senior and junior year though.

75 hours if you want a full scholarship to college... To graduate? No
