Updated Community Service Regulations for Class of 2023 and Beyond

Written By Carolyn Kouri

OSSE has released official community service high school graduation requirements for DCPS, which gradually reintroduces community service hours over the next 4 years. These regulations take effect in the 2022-23 school year.   
  
Per the guidance, students are required to complete the following requirements for each graduation year:  

  • 2022-23: 12 hours (Note: Any student who transfers into DCPS from a non-DCPS or Public Charter School in the middle of the year shall have the requirement waived.) 

  • 2023-24: 50 hours  

  • 2024-25: 75 hours  

  • 2025-26 and after: 100 hours  

Beginning in school year 2022-23, hours earned before a student completes 8th grade cannot be counted toward the graduation requirement.
