The DAR Good Citizens Award rewards individuals who possess good citizenship qualities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism in their homes, schools and communities. Teachers and peers select the students. Once a student is chosen as the DAR Good Citizen, he or she is invited to participate in the scholarship portion of the program by submitting an essay. This year’s theme was “Our American Heritage and Our Responsibility for Preserving It. How Do the Actions of Many Good Citizens Keep Our Nation Moving Forward?”
The following seniors were the winners in their school districts: Natalie Weida, Baldwin-Whitehall; Kayla Ruslavage, Canon-McMillan; Harrison Ulery, Mt. Lebanon; Audrey King, Thomas Jefferson; and Mahima Reddy, Upper St. Clair. Reddy was selected as the Bethel Fife and Drum Chapter winner and received a $100 award.
The American History Essay Contest winner was Colin Barrett, representing Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Mt. Lebanon.
