Volunteer hours must be earned between May 1 and April 30 of each school year, and served with a non-profit organization. The hours must be verified by an organizational representative and the student.

Bluffton High students are encouraged to use innerview.org to track service hours and Bluffton High will submit your verified hours prior to April 30th. Students who earn the award will be invited to a special recognition ceremony at Town Hall.

Bluffton Youth Sports is gearing up for another exciting season of youth baseball and softball, and they're reaching out to see Bobcat students might be interested in a great volunteer opportunity!

As a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, they rely on community support to keep things running—especially in the concession stands at Oscar Frazier Park and M.C. Riley Park.

They have weekly shifts available through mid-May, and this is a great way for students to earn service hours while supporting local youth sports. They're happy to provide documentation for public service credit.

To ensure a safe and secure environment at BCSD athletic events, all spectators and athletes entering our venues will be asked to remove hoods or face coverings that obscure one’s identity, such as balaclava-style masks. This practice, which is common at collegiate athletic events, will help us maintain safety by ensuring individuals can be easily identified if needed.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. Please reach out to District Athletic Director Dr. Carlos Cave for any questions.

Congratulations to our 2025 Junior Marshals!
