The community service requirement may be satisfied by participation in a single activity or a combination of activities. There is a list of suggested and pre-approved activities available in the Daily Bulletin (announcements) during the school year, the Guidance office and emailed directly to students' school email when we receive information from those seeking volunteers. During the summer students often volunteer at summer camps/programs and non-profit organizations.
Students are also encouraged to propose their own community service projects, but must be sure to get approval first from a high school administrator.
The 60 hour graduation requirement will be prorated for students entering BRRHS after their Freshman year.
