East Mountain High School students are required to complete 20 hours of community service each year for a total of 80 hours as a part of their graduation requirements.  East Mountain High School uses an online service called x2VOL that records and tracks our students community service hours. Current students who have an existing account can login to x2VOL; new students need to set up their accounts with Tamara Marcelain, at the start of the school year.

Incoming freshmen may begin accumulating community service hours during the summer months prior to their freshmen year at EMHS. Community service hours do carry over from year to year.  The student may use the EMHS Community Service form to keep track of their hours over the summer.

For more information on logging community service hours or finding a great community organization that needs a volunteer, please contact Bird Podzemny, Student Advisor, at bpodzemny@eastmountainhigh.net. Also, please check out local volunteer opportunities posted online at NMVolunteer.org or VolunteerMatch.org.
