The DAR Good Citizens program is a wonderful way to recognize outstanding young people who exhibit the qualities of good citizenship in their homes, schools, and communities. Students selected as the school’s DAR Good Citizen must have the qualities of Dependability, Service, Leadership, and Patriotism.
