- In Order to Walk at Graduation: All Service Hours, along with a completed reflection for each event, must be submitted through each student’s x2VOL account no later than the Friday after Spring Break of your senior year, which is April 7, 2023 for the 2022-23 school year. For 3rd quarter graduates, hours are due the Friday after Winter Break, which is February 24, 2023 for the 2022-23 school year.
- In Order to Receive a Diploma, but not walk at Graduation: All Service hours, along with a completed reflection for each event, must be submitted through each student’s x2VOL account no later than the last school day of May of your senior year.
Requirements for Graduation
Students MUST choose one of the following two options:
Option 1. Basic Requirement:
- Complete 20 service hours at approved locations or activities throughout your 4 years as a student at Lake Orion High School.
- Submit activity information, contact information and a valid reflection for each volunteer experience through your x2VOL account.
- All hours must be verified by a supervisor or coordinator of the activity or event.
- Hours will be applied to your account balance once your participation is verified and a valid reflection is approved.
**Prorating of Service Hours: Students transferring to Lake Orion High School will have a prorated Service Learning requirement. Students must complete 5 hours for each year (or partial year) that they attend Lake Orion High School.
Option 2. Research Paper:
In lieu of completing 20 service hours, a student may elect to complete a research paper. If a student elects this option, a Service Learning Research Request must be submitted prior to the beginning of your senior year. The portal for submitting the essay will open on the Friday before Winter Break.
