On March 18, five local students were recognized by the Lebanon Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). The annual awards ceremony was held at Zion Lutheran Church.

Georgia Martin also received the DAR Youth Citizen Award for her work in 2020 with Wreaths Across America at the Covenant Greenwood Cemetery, Ebenezer.
The students won an official DAR certificate, Good Citizen pin, and a monetary prize, and they shared about their future plans and current community, church, and social involvement.
DAR Good Citizens are chosen by their high schools based on the four qualities that distinguish DAR Good Citizens: dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism.
