Community Service

Many college and university scholarship programs, such as Bright Futures, require community service participation. Socrates Preparatory School also believes participation in community service is important in the cultivation of responsible citizenry and in preparing our students to become leaders in our community.

Students are required to have a minimum of 75 hours of community service accumulated during high school years to qualify for graduation. The number of community service hours will be prorated for any students attending Socrates Preparatory School fewer than 4 years during high school. Students have the option of accumulating these hours in an approved community program or they can participate in one of the various community projects which Socrates Preparatory School organizes.

It is the parent’s and student’s responsibility to keep track of earned community service hours and to ensure that these hours are signed for and verified by qualifying community service organizations. It is further the responsibility of the parent and student to submit documentation of earned and verified community service hours to Socrates Preparatory School Student Services Specialist via email in a timely manner.
