Whitney High School

All Whitney High School students must complete 25 hours of Service Learning to meet the Rocklin Unified School District (RUSD) graduation requirement.

 

Unless pre-approved under special circumstances, service hours must be completed outside of regular school hours.

 

Students who complete 150 verifiable service hours will earn the honor of wearing a distinguished tassel at graduation.

 

Please remember to log your hours independently, including where you served, when, what you did, and how many hours you completed.

 

 

Below is a list of community service opportunities currently available to our school. These are just a starting point—Service Learning is not limited to the options listed here. You’re encouraged to volunteer with any nonprofit organization, including churches, food banks, and charities, or to simply support people in your community who could use a helping hand.

 

Opportunities to make a difference are everywhere. Life brings challenges, and your willingness to help can mean the world to someone. Take a look around—when you offer your time and care, you’ll discover just how much you matter and how powerful your impact can be.

 

Note: While Service Learning typically involves nonprofit organizations, there are exceptions. Activities like making cards, visiting patients, doing arts and crafts, or leading games with the elderly in hospitals or assisted living facilities are also acceptable. In some cases, private companies that donate time and resources for charitable events may qualify as well.
