Gina Tenorio Staff Writer Several seniors from area high schools were recently awarded the Delta Kappa Gamma Citizenship Award. The award was given May 16 by Delta Kappa Gamma, an international organization of women educators. It honors students who have shown exceptional growth during the school year.
Good citizenship is measured by how selflessly students give of themselves.
Other criteria include students who became involved in community service programs, church programs or school. Heroism and cooperation are also considered. Twelve students received the first Delta Kappa Gamma Citizenship award in 1974. This year, each recipient received a pin and framed certificate and money. Following is a list of local students who were honored.
