The Horseshoe Prairie Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, recently recognized winners from Hamilton County High Schools in the Good Citizens Program. The program is intended to encourage and reward the qualities of good citizenship. It is open to all high school seniors enrolled in public or private schools accredited by their state board of education. Students submit their essays on the topic of what good citizenship means to them. The qualities which must be displayed for the winning students are: dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. The essays are independently judged and each school’s winning essayist receives a DAR Good Citizen pin, certificate and recognition card. One student is selected as the overall winner and that essay will be judged in the Indiana State DAR Good Citizen competition.
