Students must earn 75 Student Service Learning (SSL) hours in order to graduate high school in MCPS.  
 

Middle schoolers! All students who meet the 75 hour student service graduation requirement by the first Friday in April of a middle school year will receive a Superintendent's Student Service (SSL) Learning Award. Students will receive a certificate from Montgomery County Public Schools’ superintendent. Students may only earn the award once

​

MCPS has created an excellent handout that explains SSL hours--how to earn them, how to know if an organization can give you SSL hours, and more!
