Community Service - Florida Scholars Program

For the class of 2011 and after, to access the Florida Academic Scholars Award through the Bright Futures Program, a student must complete a program of community service, as approved by the school, which shall include a minimum of 75 hours of service work and require the student to identify a social problem that interests him or her, develop a plan for his or her personal involvement in addressing the problem and through papers or other presentations, evaluate and reflect upon his or her experience.
Community Service is defined as identifying and addressing a social issue in the community.  This requires student to look beyond themselves and reach out to an issue faced by our society today (i.e. poverty, abuse, elderly citizens).  These hours will meet the requirement for the Florida Academic Scholars Award through Bright Futures. For more information, click here.
Please contact Mrs. Scriven, Guidance Resource Specialist, for the community service proposal form or any other information at 272-3422 X743.

Hillsborugh County Schedule Change Policy

Valid reasons for a schedule change may include: counselor error, computer error, failing a required course, passing a course in summer school or night school, lacking a graduation requirement, and lacking the proper prerequisite. Elective changes most often cannot be honored due to teacher unit allocation. Schedule change requests will NOT be considered for the purpose of teacher preference. A change request may require the entire schedule to be altered to meet the request you have made. Including different teachers and different class periods. Once a schedule has been changed, it cannot be changed back again to the original schedule. The student is responsible for all class work from the beginning of the semester, regardless of the date the student entered the class. Failure to complete summer reading does not constitute a valid reason for a schedule change. After the 15th day of the semester, all schedule change requests must be approved by the Assistant Principal for Curriculum, department head, and guidance counselor.
Students should come to guidance during their lunch period to get a schedule change form to make adjustments to their ’09-’10 schedule.
