Awards for Community Service

Certificates Awarded for Cumulative Hours

Please note that service award practices detailed below are current as of June 2024, but are subject to change. Recent budget and staffing cuts affect Shorewood's ability to sponsor these awards. 

Certificates will be awarded at the end of senior year according to the number of cumulative hours as of May 1 senior year. 
Hours are counted in the Canvas Class of 202x course. Students must have performed service and turned in their hours throughout high school according to our procedures. 

These awards are automatic if a student has followed Shorewood procedures and their hours are counted in Canvas.

Certificate of Merit for 40+ Hours

Certificate of Distinction for 80+ Hours

If students have reached these levels before spring of senior year and hours are documented in Canvas, they may include the award on their resumes or applications. 

Award Presentation

Students who earn these certificates will be recognized as a group, usually during the final awards assembly in June. The groups of students for each certificate will be asked to stand together for recognition. Graduates will receive their certificate when they pick up their diploma after the end of the school year. 

 

Note:

The President's Volunteer Service Award has been discontinued by the current administration.
