- Tennessee State Board of Education has a recognition for students who choose to participate in community service hours that are above and beyond any required hours. Students who have 10 hours per semester of community service hours, for EACH semester they are enrolled in high school will receive a recognition pin. These hours must be completed and documented each semester and submitted each semester a student is in high school in order to receive the recognition. In order to receive the volunteer pin, students must complete and submit the attached form to their school counselor by the first day of high school exams each semester. Please note, you can NOT use the same hours that you are using for any other requirement such as your required hours at Middle College, Key Club, TN Promise, etc.
- This form must be submitted each semester from this point forward (starting for the fall 2016 semester) in order to recognized. It is the student’s responsibility to submit the form each semester. Late forms are not accepted. If you miss a semester, you will not receive the pin. This is optional. This does not affect your graduation status, diploma type, GPA, etc.

About your counselor...Heather Mendoza
I graduated from Northeast High School. I completed my Bachelors degree at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga and my Masters degree from Austin Peay State University. I started my school counseling career at Montgomery Central High School before we opened the Middle College in 2008.
My actual office hours vary from day to day based on my schedule for the day. My students are always welcome to stop by but you can also schedule an appointment if you want to make sure that I am in the office. (If my door is closed, I'm either out of the office or unavailable.)
