ATTENTION SENIORS:
To earn the White Cord for Graduation, seniors must complete 100 or more hours of verified volunteer service. This recognition highlights a student’s commitment to serving their community and is an important milestone worth celebrating.
All completed volunteer hours must be logged in SchooLinks. If your student has already begun or completed their service, please make sure those hours are entered as soon as possible to ensure recognition at graduation.
If you have any questions about volunteer hours or how to log them, please visit the Career Center and speak with Mrs. Marelli for assistance.
