[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By then end of 8th grade, your child needs 15 service hours for Civics. The hours can be totaled from both 7th and 8th grade. Our Civics class ended up giving the kids an automatic 7 hours for just completing the slides/assigned writing about the service hours. If your child joins the National Junior Honor Society, there are different requirements - I want to say 10 additional hours once you join. I believe hours that counted for Civics could also count for NJHS.

In high school, if your child wants the special service learning cord at graduation, they need to complete 40 hours of service while in high school. That’s an average of 10 hours per year. This is not mandatory obviously, but something extra. If your child joins National Honor Society, they have their own service hour requirements. They said hours already completed this year could count.[/quote]

I asked my kid this morning and he said that the NJHS at Carson says that you cannot count Civics hours towards NJHS hours. It was on the contract that the kids had to sign and bring into school. [/quote]
