My son’s school requires 40 hours over his 4 years of high school. He helps out with technology at various events, like updating computer displays, running a video camera, etc. He’s already earned over half his required hours and gets to have fun to boot.

College bound, CPR ready — Law mandates high school grads be prepared for cardiac emergencies
New legislation in North Carolina is requiring all high school students in the state to complete CPR training in order to graduate. Signed by Gov. Beverly Perdue in July, the law passed with 115 of 119 votes. CPR instruction will be rolled into Healthful Living, a required physical education course.
The law states high school students, beginning with the Class of 2015, must be instructed in first aid and emergency care, including CPR and the Heimlich maneuver, using nationally recognized programs such as those from the American Red Cross and American Heart Association.
