Students are learning in Advisory that there are requirements for Community Connection for every grade level this school year:

12th - 8 hours (24 hours for honor cord)

11th - 6 hours

10th - 4 hours

7th-9th - 2 hours

"Community Connection" can be either in the form of community service or a job shadow experience. These hours are due prior to Spring conferences, which are held in the first week of April this school year.

Students may find their own community connection experience or you can sign up for one or more of Saturday opportunities that are available for Challenger students!

How do you document your hours? You may use one of the two digital forms below, and we also have copies in the main office or through your Advisory teacher.
