Students in grades 9-12: community service hours will be recorded via the x2vol.com website.  

Students in grades 5-8 record service on Community Service Logs and submit them on assigned dates. Community Service Activity Logs are located on the Community Service page in the right column. Click on the link to retrieve a printable log. This year, the logs are due on April 19. Logs are submitted to the Middle School Office for grades 5-8.

All hours must be documented.  No hours may be verified by a parent. Students may obtain hours through work done for agencies which are non-profit and outreach in nature. Students must do all activities through an organized agency for accountability and protection purposes. Places to serve may have age limits.

At the close of each school year, community service awards are given in recognition of the student's work.  The final decision for award levels and work allowed for these levels rests with the Director of Community Service. Levels are as follows:

We love the idea that service begins at ‘home’ and Prep is your home! We welcome any work you do at Prep! Thank you! To earn a Community Service award at Class Days and Honors Forums please make sure that your hours reflect a percentage of no more than 50% of your hours coming from work done for Prep. So, if you have done 20 hours around Prep, make sure you have balanced your work with 20 hours in an agency in the surrounding community.

Any upper school student in grades 9-12 may join Service Club.
