One hundred hours of community service is a DC-wide high school graduation requirement for all public schools – including Washington Latin. Read on to learn more about what is required and how to record service hours as a student of our Upper School at 2nd Street.
Whenever a student in grades 9-12 at the 2nd Street Campus completes community service hours, they should follow these steps to record those hours:
- Complete and sign a paper version of the Community Service form. Note this form also requires you to get your parent/guardian’s signature, along with the name, title and signature of the person who supervised your community service work. If you are working for a nonprofit, such as Martha’s Table for example, your supervisor is the staff member of Martha’s Table. If you are participating in a service project at school, then the faculty member (such as the Director of the Upper School or your advisor) is your supervisor.
- Complete the Washington Latin 2nd Street Community Service Google Form. You will be asked to upload your completed and signed Community Service form from Step 1. You can submit a scan or photo (from you phone is fine). Be sure you have that ready to go when submitting the Google form.
- Our Registrar will compile the hours and add them to your record. If you have questions, please send them to communityservice@latinpcs.org.
