Rowe-Clark Math & Science Academy requires that all students complete community service hours. In doing so we not only provide a service to others in need, but we are also demonstrating an appreciation for the community that supports us. Community service is defined as an activity or event in which you are involved in work that serves the community as supervised by an approved non-profit or government agency. The act or event must have a direct, positive impact on community.

Requirement: In order to pass this requirement, students are expected to complete a minimum of 40 community service hours according to the benchmarks outlined below. All hours must be completed at a pre-approved site or project.

Pre-Approval: Rowe-Clark Math & Science Academy has an existing list of over 30 sites that are approved for students to do community service. Lists of approved sites/projects are posted on the community service bulletin board located outside of the cafeteria. The advisor can also access this information on the network.

Sites where a relative of the student works will not be approved. In order to have a site approved, a student must submit to the main office the name of the site, name of the supervisor, and a telephone number at least one week prior to the start of the service. Without a week's notice, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to make contact with the supervisors. Once a new site is approved, the advisor will be notified. Students cannot do service at a site until they are informed by the main office that the site was approved. This approval will be communicated through the advisor.
