I graduated from high school in 1982 from a public school in connecticut.

I had to take art and music as a condition of graduation.

I also had to perform 30 hours of community service sometime during those high school years (how it was kept track of I had no idea0.

I survived.. the art classes were more painful and more useless than the community service was...

I don't think community service is any different than other graduation requirements...
