The Fort Mims Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution announced recently the DAR Good Citizens from three area high schools.

The DAR Good Citizens for 2022-23 are Thomas Aaron Huggins, Escambia Academy; Hayla Weaver, Escambia County High School; and Adelyn Bethea, Flomaton High School.

The students were selected from the senior class of each school based on qualities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism to an outstanding degree, according to a release.

The good citizens were eligible to participate in the National DAR Scholarship Contest, which included background information in school and community and an essay.

One winner’s package from each chapter could be selected to advance to district to compete with entries from Baldwin and Mobile counties. The district winner advances to state, the state winner then advances to national.

The Fort Mims Chapter winner was Huggins.

Recognition of each winner will be given at awards day or senior recognition day at the end of the school year.
