Community Service Guidelines
Guidelines regarding acceptable community service hours for the Knight Valor award is consistent with those of the Bellevue School District. Community service is any service that is done for schools, non-profit agencies and/or religious organizations.

Recording Community Service Hours
Community service hours must be recorded, submitted and approved in Naviance. Students may reach out to Mrs. Aldridge in the counseling center for assistance before school or during lunch if assistance is needed when using Naviance.
Application Process
As of 2018, students are no longer required to ‘apply’ for the Knight Valor award. Seniors who have the required hours by May 19, 2023 will automatically be recognized unless the student specifically requests not to be recognized. Seniors will receive a certificate, a pin and will be recognized in the graduation brochure.
