Beginning with the graduating class of 2027, the state of Arkansas requires 75 hours of community service to graduate. Students should communicate with their counselor about this requirement. Linked below is the community service form students should use to track hours each year. At the end of each school year, students should reach out to their counselor regarding steps to upload this form.


It is the student's responsibility to perform the community service, collect signatures, and submit hours to counselors.
