Each year, DAR sponsors the Good Citizen Awards. Each school chooses a senior to participate.
Students are chosen on the many characteristics of a good citizen – truthfulness, punctuality, cooperation and many others. They also write a timed essay on a topic given to them.
The winning entry proceeds to the state and national contest. They receive a pin, certificate and a scholarship.
This year’s top winner is Carter Boyd of Hillsboro HS. Other school winners are: Kendal Welling, Fairfield; Ava Marie Doughman, Lynchburg-Clay; and Brooklyn Baldwin, McClain.
