each student makes to help guide his or her course selection to meet the criteria of the chosen endorsement.
Community Service Hours
Community Service is any service that is done for non-profit agencies and organizations, educational institutions, and/or religious organizations. For activities that do not fall in these categories, justification is required to demonstrate how the community is being served by the activities.
In order to earn volunteer hours, activities coordinated by non-profit agencies and organizations, educational institutions, and/or religious organizations must provide service to the community as a whole. Responsibilities related to membership in non profit agencies and organizations, educational institutions, and/or religious organizations are NOT acceptable for voluntary public service.
Activities pursued, as a member of an organization or service club such as Key Club, NHS, Student Council fraternities or sororities must provide service to the community. Work-related to internal, membership activities (such as recruitment, training, meetings or initiation) do NOT qualify for voluntary community service. Service volunteered at private businesses does NOT qualify for voluntary community service.
Required Academic Program for HPS High School Graduation
In accordance with House Bill 5, all students are required to choose one endorsement in order to graduate under the State of Texas Foundation High School Plan. “Foundation High School Plan with Endorsements and Distinguished Level of Achievement” is the default plan all Harmony students are expected to follow. In order to earn a high school diploma from any Harmony Public School, each student must fulfill the following core academic requirements
