Seniors in the Warren Consolidated School district are only allowed to have cords or stools for GPA’s or NHs.

The cords are earned, they aren't just a participation trophy. Every student who has been in any club, any sport, 4 years of Spanish, been the president of our class, all deserve representation. Not just based off your GPA. What if students put so much hard work into getting involved they let their grades slip and now walk to stage feeling less than the others with yellow cords. 

Everyone is different and has had different high school experiences, no matter where their future takes them I think graduation is the most important and crucial way we can show our differences.
