All students are required to complete a minimum four hours of community
service per semester. Hours must be recorded and submitted on the Community

to pick-up a copy of the form in advance of the community service event

or group in the community.
Community Cleanup:
Escondido Charter High School is sponsoring a community cleanup along
East Valley Parkway on Saturday, October 28 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
The cleanup is an excellent way for students to complete the four hours
of community service required each semester. Students, parents, and staff
are invited to join us! All supplies will be provided for cleaning. Free
food and drink will be served at 12:00 p.m. See you there!
