What are the Humanities, Community Service & Afternoon Program Requirements?
• The Humanities Program requirement, the Community Service Requirement and the Afternoon Program requirement are part of the requirements for graduation. • Students are required to attend one on-campus, one off-campus humanities performance, and one museum trip each year that they attend the Academy. • Students must complete a minimum of 50 hours of community service. Students may do community service as an afternoon program commitment or they may create a community service project and perform the service over vacations. In the latter case, students must provide adequate documentation of their work. Students may also earn 80 % of their community service credit by volunteering to help with the Special Olympics tournament hosted by The Governor’s Academy in both their junior and senior years. • Students are required to participate in some offering of the afternoon program every season during which they attend the Academy.
