Earn Graduation Cord for Community Volunteer Service Hours  

All students at Skyline are encouraged to participate in this optional PTSA program to build up their volunteer hours, with Freshmen eligible to start earning volunteer hours after 8th grade promotion.

How to get the cord:

All students should record their hours on Skyline's Student Record of Community Volunteer Service form & submit it once all rows on the form are complete. In order to earn the Community Volunteer Service cord at graduation, students must submit records of having volunteered at least 100 hours over the course of high school. 

How and when to submit the forms:

Every year the program runs from October through April. 

Option1(preferred):

Students are encouraged to bring their completed forms to PTSA SHS commons for in person collection. This will happen on the first Monday of every month during both lunches.

Option 2 (convenient if option 1 not possible):

Or they may leave completed forms in the PTSA drawer in the College & Career Center, which will be collected occasionally. 

Deadlines and reminders:

Students are advised to keep copies of all forms submitted as backup. The deadline for seniors to submit forms in order to receive the service cord is the first Monday of April of their graduation year.

👉 👉 👉 The last collection of Community Volunteer Service Forms is on 4/6/26. We strongly encourage senior students to turn in service hours before the deadline so we can order graduation cords in time.
