All students must complete 60 hours of Service Learning (also known as Community Service) by the time they graduate from high school. Community service is a fun, rewarding and a way to explore career opportunities. You might wonder what are ways to get involved?

Figure out what you are interested in, STEM, education, social justice, sports, medicine, etc. Now find a place to volunteer.
You could visit the counseling center (located in building 2 on the main floor) for a document with a list of organizations or check out this website https://www.justserve.org/projects
Now that you know where you want to volunteer, either go in to the organization and apply on the spot or send an email:
- Hello ___________________________,
  
  I am currently a student at Cleveland and would like to volunteer at your organization, I am interested because ..... How do I apply?
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Name
  Email Address
Don't forget to submit a service learning documentation form for each organization you volunteer with to our Registrar Ms.Tagupa in room 2151 or email.

PE Waiver

PE waivers will be granted for ONE Semester at a time. A waiver should be approved if the student has met proficiency on the OSPI developed PE competency assessment. A student can only be waived from credits for physical education. A student must take other classes to make for missing credits to meet minimum high school graduation requirements. A student who is a Teacher's Assistant or has a hole in their schedule may not receive a a waiver. See PE Waiver Form below for categories that qualify as allowable reasons for the administrator/designee to consider waiving PE.

Cross Credit / 2-for-1 Form

Cross Credit Request Form pdf icon

Beginning with the class of 2016, students who earn CTE credit as required for graduation by taking a course that is cross-credited in a non-CTE subject that is also required for graduation and vice versa, may count the course as meeting graduation requirements in both subject areas. For example, if a student takes photography as a CTE course and photography is also cross credited as fine arts, the .5 credit earned in that one class may count toward both CTE and fine arts requirements. If a student earns credit in a fine arts drama class that is cross credited as a CTE course, the .5 credit earned in that one class may count toward both CTE and fine arts requirements.
