Silver Cord Service Program
A silver cord at high school graduation typically symbolizes significant community service, volunteering, or academic distinction.
Mount Horeb High School, as part of its mission to provide students with opportunities to develop to their fullest potential and become valuable members of society, has implemented the SILVER CORD SERVICE PROGRAM. If you plan to pursue a silver cord, you must work with Mount Horeb High School – see information found under Silver Cord Service Program here.
The official Silver Cord Verification of Service Form can be found here. Completed forms may be emailed or given to Brenda Martin or Pastor Karen to sign.
Some options for opportunities: Helping with our Sunday School program, mission trips, service weeks, assisting with our summer VBS/Day Camp.
Youth Gathering 2027
Minneapolis, MN
Every three years, 30,000+ high school youth and their adult leaders from across the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America gather for a week of faith formation known as the ELCA Youth Gathering. Through days spent in interactive learning, worship, Bible study, service and fellowship, young people grow in faith and are challenged and inspired to live their faith in their daily lives.
