Community Service
The Tiverton School Department is committed to community service.
Community
service is more than a graduation requirement at Tiverton High School. The
school culture is infused with Service-Learning. This teaching and learning
strategy provides meaningful opportunities that promote personal, social,
and intellectual growth, as well as civic responsibility and career
exploration.
As a part of the educational experience at Tiverton High School students are
encouraged to experience the “real world”. The Community Service-Learning
Program seeks to encourage students to try out
activities and opportunities
that are different from those to which they are normally exposed; in this
way their education is enhanced and their understanding of their community
and the world is broadened.
The Requirements:
1. All Tiverton High School Students must complete 75 hours of community
service prior to graduation
2. Students can carry a maximum of 60 hours from 7th and 8th grade community
service. A minimum of 15 hours must be earned while in High School. A
maximum of 60 hours can be earned during any one year during high school
(except during senior year).
3. Students must provide community service for an approved non-profit
organization.
4. Community service provided to an individual must be approved in writing
by the community service coordinator. Credit will not be given without prior
approval forms being submitted. The Pre-Approval Form (available thru link

5. Community service credit will not be given for volunteering with a
for-profit business (restaurant, store, etc)
6. Babysitting for individual families will not count for community service
credit.
7. All students must have 50 hours of community service credited to them by
the beginning of senior year to be eligible for senior lounge.
8. Court mandated service hours will not be counted for school credit.
