To complete the community-service graduation requirement for Miami-Dade County Public Schools, students must complete a community service project between 9th and 12th grade. No set number of service hours is required for the project unless a student is working toward the Florida Academic Scholars' certificate or the Superintendent's Diploma of Distinction. In those cases, a minimum of 75 hours of service is required for each. For further information about these programs, see the school’s counselor.
