Dating back to the school's earliest days, the campus service program has worked with faculty and staff members to give students opportunities to contribute in some manner to the life and growth of the School. The program is designed to meet the diverse needs of our school while creating a more cohesive campus community.
Campus service is an NCSSM graduation requirement for which students receive a grade. At the end of each semester, students are evaluated on their campus service performance with a Satisfactory (S) or Unsatisfactory (U) rating. An Unsatisfactory grade could result in a senior not being able to graduate from NCSSM.
Seniors are expected to complete three hours per week for the entire year, including J-Term, and they generally remain in the same assignment for the entire year. Juniors are expected to complete two hours per week and they are only required to participate in campus service for two quarters of the year.
