Waukee Silver Cord Recognizes Third Term Achievements


The purpose of the Waukee Silver Cord Program is to instill within students the importance of community service and encourage students to be accountable for investing in their own education and in the community on a regular basis during their school years. Students can volunteer in the local, national and global community and receive recognition at the end of each term when 25, 50, 100 and 175 hours are first achieved. Students who volunteer 175 hours by April 30 of their senior year will have the distinct honor of wearing a silver cord during their graduation ceremony.

There are approximately 970 students currently participating in the Waukee High School Silver Cord Program. Students who reached recognition milestones during the third term of the 2020-21 school year are as follows:
