Community Service Hours Update

The MIHS Community Service Award recognizes MIHS seniors who have devoted a significant amount of time supporting nonprofits and their missions through community service work.  This program awards a pin and recognition for volunteer hours worked over the entirety of your high school years (the time period beginning with your first day of High School).  Through the class of 2028, the hours will continue to be recognized at the following levels:

Gold level award: 195

Silver level award:  135

Bronze level award: 90

​Starting with the class of 2029, there will be an increase in the number of hours needed to achieve these awards, going back to our pre-Covid era levels.  We hope you will take advantage of this wonderful initiative and recognition!  Please see our website for the details!
