Three seniors from local high schools received Good Citizen awards from the Arkadelphia Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution at a tea and meeting Tuesday, Nov. 10, at Second Baptist Church in Arkadelphia.
Those receiving awards were: Joshua Greenwich, Arkadelphia High School; Gracie Gillaspy, Centerpoint High, and Ava Graves, Ouachita High. Also earning Good Citizen awards for their schools but unable to attend the ceremony were Anahi Leon, Gurdon High, and Isabella Collins, Bismarck High.
High school faculty members and students chose each school’s Good Citizen by vote. Selection was based on leadership, dependability, service and patriotism.
