Community Service
K-8th Grade Community Service Requirements
Students that are in kindergarten through eighth grade are required to serve 10 hours of community service per school year.
High School Community Service Requirements
Caprock Academy high school students are required to serve 20 hours of community service per school year. 15 of those hours should be in our greater community and the remaining 5 hours are to be completed on school campus.
High school students that have been inducted into the National Honor Society will volunteer an additional 10 hours per school year. These hours are usually done through NHS sponsored activities.
Student community service hours will be printed on their official high school transcript.
