**Purpose of Program****To instill within students the important role that quality community service has in building a successful, growing, community.
Requirements of ProgramThe Silver Cord Award is a distinguished service award available to Grundy Center High School students who earn at least 120 hours of community volunteer service from the start of their freshman year through April of their graduating year. At the Senior Awards program in May, recipients will receive a silver cord to wear on their robes at graduation in recognition of their achievement. Those moving into the district after the start of their freshman year may have hours requirements pro-rated.****The Century Club Award: A student who completes 100 hours of volunteer service in a single school year, with documentation, will be eligible for the Century Club Award. This award can be earned in any or all of your high school years and may include hours that benefit one organization. These students will be recognized at the High School awards ceremony at the end of the school year.
**NOTE: It was previously a requirement that a student could not earn more than 40 hours of service at one location. While we still encourage students to volunteer at a variety of locations/organizations, we have since eliminated that requirement. If there are any questions about hours, please contact Mrs. Showalter (tshowalter@spartanpride.net).
