HONOR CORD DISTINCTION

What is a Honor Cord?

An honor cord is worn to represent an achievement of the student or their participation in a specific group or study, which is identified by the color or colors of the cord. Individual high schools establish their own criteria for cords and their symbolism.

A student who participates in the Lincoln High School Commitment to Community Award Program will receive an honor cord for each year the requirements are met. Each cord signifies a student completing 100 hours of community service.

1 YEAR OF SERVICE= SILVER CORD

2ND YEAR OF SERVICE= WHITE CORD

3RD YEAR OF SERVICE= BLACK CORD

4TH YEAR OF SERVICE= RED CORD

Upon graduation, if a student has participated in the C2C program for 4 years, he/she will have 4 honor cords to wear at graduation.
