STUDENT SERVICE LEARNING (SSL) Student service learning helps students learn and develop through active participation in thoughtful, organized service that meets a recognized community need. Students are required to complete 75 SSL hours to earn a Maryland high school diploma. Students may begin earning SSL hours during the summer following the completion of grade five and continue through grade 12. During middle school, students can earn SSL hours in grade 6 science, grade 7 English, and grade 8 world studies. Full participation in these activities and successful completion of the course are required for students to obtain the SSL hours. Students may earn additional hours by participating in any or all of the following types of activities: direct action, indirect action, or advocacy. MCPS has established the following deadlines for submission of SSL documentation: hours completed during the summer must be submitted on or before the first Friday before September 30th, hours completed during semester 1 and 2 must be submitted no later than the Friday before semester exams begin.
