Students from the Heart of Virginia, selected by their respective schools, were recently recognized by the Judith Randolph-Longwood Chapter/NSDAR at a special Awards and Scholarship Ceremony at the Farmville Historic Train Station on March 14.

“The DAR Good Citizens program is a great way to recognize young people who exhibit qualities of good citizenship in their homes, schools and communities,” DAR officials said in a press release. “The students selected by their schools is open to all high school seniors enrolled in public or private schools accredited by their state board of education.”

“The student selected as the school’s Good Citizen must have the following qualities: dependability (truthfulness, honesty, punctuality), service (cooperation, helpfulness, responsibility) and patriotism (unselfish loyalty to American ideals).”
