This program recognizes the importance of student involvement in community service and encourages voluntary 
participation leading to an additional honor at graduation. Although this service is not a requirement, the school officially promotes student community service with formal acknowledgment. Acceptable community service will accumulate over a four-year period, be recorded on the student’s high school record, and acknowledged in the form of a community service diploma endorsement at the time of graduation.

• Diploma Endorsement will be signified by “Distinction for Community Service” for those who qualify.
• “Acceptable Community Service” consists of any act on behalf of others or the community that contributes significantly to the good of others and the community. This service must also be connected to a formal service organization.
• Time requirement is a minimum of 40 hours of documented community service performed within the four-year period from 9th to 12th grade. The summer preceding 9th grade will count for the purpose of this program.
• The intent of this program is for the service to accrue over a period of four years.

A mission of Babylon Junior-Senior High School is to promote volunteer work and community service as  an essential part of good citizenship.
