Herbert Hoover High School

Hoover High School Community Service

We encourage all Hoover High School students to perform at least 100 of community service during their time in high school. While not a graduation requirement, it is an opportunity for students to positively impact their community and begin to change the world, today. These services are not only beneficial to our community, they also provide our students with an invaluable experience. Students who complete the 100 hours and submit the appropriate forms will receive the Hoover Community Service Medal when they graduate.

Community Service Log Submission

The Community Service Google classroom will be made available in March for you to begin uploading your logs.

Seniors: The deadline to turn in your Senior hours is April 11, 2025

Volunteer hour forms for 9th, 10th and 11th graders are due on the last day of school.

Only a signature from an adult supervising the activity will qualify for the volunteer service performed. Before you upload your logs to Google classroom, be sure you save a copy.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Araxi at adertavitian@gusd.net
