• NYS Voter Registration Form

  New York State Voter Registration Form 

  In an effort to promote student voter registration, all students who are at least 16 years old (but will not be 18 years old by the next election) have the opportunity to pre-register to vote, so long as these students are otherwise qualified to register to vote.  Students pre-registering to vote will be automatically registered upon reaching the age of eligibility following verification of the person’s qualifications and address.  Please click the link above to access the New York State Voter Registration Form.

• New Community Service Procedures

  Pearl River High School is now using an online tracking and reporting system for service hours called x2VOL that is accessible through Naviance Student.  This system eliminates the need for paper forms and allows students to enter their service hours online at any time, check and register for volunteer opportunities, receive reminders about the opportunities and print a service hour log that can be used as a reference for college applications and the National Honor Society.  Please see the Community Service page on the Guidance site for detailed information.
