Community Service Learning - Deadlines
All students are required to do 40 hours of community service over the course of their high school career in order to graduate. If a student has transferred from another school district, then they must complete 10 hours of community service for every year they have been in the Fremont Unified School District. Students, make sure that the hours you complete are acceptable by review the FUSD Board Policy on Service Learning Hours.
