Green Cord Program

NBISD created the Green Cord Community Service Award Program tailored after a program in Keller ISD. Its purpose is to create an incentive for the High School student body to actively participate in volunteer community work and to provide a simple way for students to officially document their service hours (for college entrance applications and resumes, scholarship applications, etc.)

The effectiveness of the Green Cord Program lies within the extensiveness of student involvement.

Download the Green Cord Community Service Documentation Form.

Download the Green Cord Program Overview with Documentation Form.

The Green Cord Community Service Award Program is a program, which gives special recognition to students their senior year at graduation that complete 150 or more hours of volunteer service. Students who wish to participate must document hours in Xello.

Hours must be accumulated starting June 1st of the summer before a student’s freshman year and later to count towards Green Cord.

True service is a giving of one’s time and labor while under no obligation to do so. An act of community service, therefore, is such service performed voluntarily for the betterment of an individual or group of individuals. LCHS will recognize all acts of this kind as valid community service activities.

Certain areas of community service are considered exceptions to the normal guidelines stated above. Service rendered while fundraising will only be considered acceptable service if the fund directly benefit a non-profit organization or similar group. Only true service hours count toward the program, not travel or sleep time (i.e. for a service trip only actual hours worked are acceptable). Hours for babysitting without pay will only count if done for an organization – not individuals. Doing work for your parents for other family members without pay is not considered community service.

If a question arises concerning the acceptability of an act as a valid community service the designated administrator will decide objectively on the matter. The administrator is not responsible for ensuring the students will understand the acceptability guidelines; students who perform service, which is not acceptable, will be exclusively liable for their mistakes. If in doubt about whether or not an act will count, please see principal/principal designee.

All community service hours performed by a student who wishes to participate in the program must be documented on the Green Cord Community Service Documentation Form signed by the person who supervised the community service hours.
Students must log their hours.
Each student is solely responsible for uploading his/her own documentation forms into Xello. Forms, which are not completed to the satisfaction of administration, will be rejected and the student will be made aware of the rejection via school email.
The Service hours must be accumulated by May 1 of a student’s graduation year. Community service documentation will be deemed valid only if recorded, logged, and verified within the above timeframe.

After May 1, the total number of valid community service hours performed by each participating student will be tallied. Once the final hours are posted, the student will have one week to clear up any discrepancies with their hours. Any student who completes the required number of hours by May 1 of their graduating year will be said to have met the requirements of the Green Cord Community Service Award Program and will receive a green cord to be worn during the graduation ceremony.

Army NDCC

Long Creek High School is proud to announce the addition of the Army National Defense Cadet Corps (NDCC) program beginning in the 2026-2027 school year.

The Army NDCC program is a leadership development program that focuses on building character, citizenship, responsibility, and service. Through engaging classroom instruction, hands-on activities, physical fitness, community service opportunities, and leadership training, cadets develop valuable skills that prepare them for success in high school, college, careers, and life.

As Long Creek High School continues to grow and welcome its first senior class, the Army NDCC program will provide students with an exciting opportunity to develop leadership skills, serve others, and become engaged members of the Long Creek community.
