Community
Service Requirements
Students
wishing to receive recognition at graduation for National
Honor Society, Honors Diploma or Gold Cord should
participate, record and report to TAMS the number
of community service hours. Each recognition has a
certain number of community service hours associated
with the award. Each award also has a grade point
average and academic standards that must be met in
addition to the community service hours; however,
this page only addresses the community service hour
requirement.

earning enough hours for a "higher" award
automatically qualifies you for the awards that require
a lesser number of hours. For instance, if you qualify
for Gold Cord, you will also automatically qualify
for Honors Diploma and National Honor Society.
