Community service is voluntary work performed to help people or a person. It is meant to connect us to the community where we live, work or to the global community. Because we are all citizens, it is our responsibility to learn about and help others. It is a way to pay it forward. Community service is also a way to pay back the town, state, and country.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">REQUIREMENTS<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To receive a Pittsfield Middle High School diploma, high school students are required to complete 40 hours of community service.
