The PURPOSE is to recognize who engage in a high level (qualitatively and quantitatively) of service to the community by earning the opportunity to wear a service cord during senior graduation. Seniors completing the program will receive their service cord, be honored at the Awards Program in May, and re recognized on the graduation program. In addition, at the Awards Program in May, the student in each grade level completing the most hours during the previous 12 months will be recognized. HOURS Hours required are an average of 40 per year that the student is enrolled at George Ranch High School. The number of hours required is a total for the course of the high school experience. If a student earns 30 hours one year, 50 the next, 35 the next, and 45 the final year, the total is still 160, and the student will meet the minimum requirement of the Service Cord Program. Students are responsible for declaring their intent to participate in the program, and only hours earned after the declaration will count toward the required hours. Service hours from the summer are allowed if the Intent to Serve is signed and returned to the Student Service Window NO LATER than the end of the third week of school each year. All forms are available at the Student Service Window, Ms. Harmon’s classroom (1610), and on the George Ranch website. Students are responsible for returning all completed Service Hour Record forms to the Student Service Window. Student hours will be recorded and an update will be posted periodically during the year. In the case of misplaced information, the student is solely responsible for keeping personal copies for verification. Students are responsible for submitting their completed service hour forms in a timely manner according to the schedule given in the deadline section found below. GUIDELINES Students may not receive payment or compensation in any form for service performed. Hours performed
