The Mission:  To raise awareness of the community's need, to encourage student service, and to provide information to those students who wish to serve as volunteers in the Round Rock area and beyond.

The Vision: RRHS Dragon Force community service organization would like every student to volunteer for 20 hours of community service each year.

The requirement to receive the service honor cord for graduation is the completion of 80 community service hours by April of their senior year and a current PTSA membership.  The hours can be accumulated in any fashion; (i.e. all in one year or spread over four years), as long as hours are turned in by their submission deadlines (see below).  In addition, in order for service hours to be counted toward a service honor cord, students must: 

  1. Perform work for a non-profit organization (for-profit type organizations, e.g. hospitals, or nursing homes will be accepted on a case-by-case basis.  Also, while many for-profit organzations perform philanthropic work, volunteer hours completed through these groups WILL NOT count towards Dragon Force hours);

  2. Complete the work for neither money nor credit;

  3. Perform work outside of regular school hours (some exceptions may be permitted with prior approval);

  4. List hours worked on a daily basis as performed unless it is the same activity, within the same week, and during the same block of time every day.

Submission guidelines:

  • Please use the online form to submit your hours. 

  • Partial hours are ok, but your total hours served will be rounded        to the nearest whole hour.

  • Hours must be submitted by the posted deadlines below.  Prior        year submissions will not be accepted, except in the. case of        tranfer students.

  • Hours worked over the summer need to be turned in by September   30, 2024.  No forms from the summer will be accepted after this date– no exceptions.

  • Seniors must turn in all hours served by April 11, 2025, to be considered for a graduation service cord.

  • Forms not submitted by these deadlines will not be accepted.

  • Forms that are not complete or that cannot be verified will       be returned - no exceptions.

Note:  Dragon Force hours do not accumulate past 80 hours.  Once you have met the requirement, you will receive confirmation from the Dragon Force Coordinator.
