PTSA Graduation Cords

Introducing the CPHS PTSA Grad Cord Program! PTSA is excited to offer students this new opportunity to earn an honor cord to wear at graduation!

Students may earn points toward earning a grad cord by being a PTSA student member, volunteering at PTSA events, participating in the PTA Reflections Arts Program, attending PTSA meetings and events, serving on our board and committees, completing PTSA-approved community service hours and more!

Honor cords traditionally recognize and celebrate students in high schools and colleges. They symbolize such accomplishments as academic excellence, community service, leadership skills, and dedication to extracurricular activities. 

Seniors: To qualify for a PTSA Grad Cord, you must be a PTSA member by March 15 of your senior year and you must have at least a 2.5 GPA.
