As part of the diploma requirements, each student must make a positive contribution to the well-being of the community. The community involvement consists of student self-directed activities of at least 40 hours, which must be completed before graduation. The activities must occur outside of normal instructional hours.

Students will be able to start accumulating community involvement hours in the summer before they enter grade 9.
