Points are earned for the Service Honor Cord throughout High School by contributing time and energy to organizations such as church, non-profit agencies, senior centers, hospitals, working a sporting event, tutoring, helping an elderly neighbor etc. As long as there is no pay involved, the activity can count as a service activity.

The service letter must be signed by the supervisor of the project and will indicate individual student hours volunteered to this effort. Forms are available outside the Main Office and the Counseling Office. Please turn completed forms into the Main Office.
