Don't forget to come to the Humboldt bandstand at 6pm today for a meeting if you want to volunteer at Water Wars this summer!

All students who would like to volunteer at Water Wars this year must attend one of these volunteer meetings with organizer Damaris Kunkler. Be there if you want to get involved and get your Humboldt Promise community service hours!

Congratulations to our very first juniors/Class of 2027 students, Connor Gray & Bryce Culbertson, on completing their community service hours for The Humboldt Promise scholarship.

Class of 2027 students need 25 hours of approved community service to qualify for the scholarship. All opportunities are posted to The Humboldt Promise Google Classroom. Please have your child log in regularly to sign up!

How can my child get their community service hours for The Humboldt Promise? We get this question every day.

The Humboldt Promise Google Classroom page has up to the minute information about all the approved community service opportunities. Just have your child login to Google Classroom and comment on posts to sign up (or just stop into our Promise Coordinator's office at the high school - Ms. Kenny).

It's that easy!
