For freshmen, any student completing 25 or more volunteer hours received a certificate, while sophomores, juniors, and seniors needed to complete 100 or more hours for their certificates during the 2021-22 school year.

The following lists the Freshman students who achieved 25 hours or more during the 2021-22 school year:

But that’s not all! Each year, seniors who have completed 500 hours of Community Service during their four years at North Shore are recognized. Ms. Halloran said, “They have taken on more responsibility each year and developed leadership skills through their service. Each will enrich their college communities by continuing to promote volunteerism.” We are proud to announce the following seniors Graduating with Distinction: Amanda Ayres, Atticus Bartlett, Jason Basile, Kathryn Ditrano, Brian Matthews, and Paige Shane.
In addition, the following students received the American Citizenship Award in June 2022. The American Citizenship Award is given to two members of each underclass and six members of the senior class who exemplify the character that helps build the North Shore community. These are students who do what’s right when nobody is looking, and they have the courage to do what’s right even when others are looking. They seek no praise or recognition for their efforts, their only interest is the greater good. They include:
Freshmen – Class of 2025
Nora Solomon and Aaron Flores
Sophomores – Class of 2024

Juniors – Class of 2023
