Worthington recognized for his good citizenship
Adam Worthington, a senior at Cumberland County High School, was the recipient of the DAR Good Citizen Award for 2006-2007 at the March meeting of the Crab-Orchard Chapter DAR.
Ruby Pruett, chairman of the Good Citizen Committee, presented the award certificate, the DAR Good Citizen pin, a wallet recognition card, and a check for $50 to Adam, son of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Worthington.
To have been chosen for the DAR Good Citizen Award for Cumberland County High School, Adam must have demonstrated, at school and in his personal life, the qualities of dependability (which includes truthfulness, loyalty, and punctuality), service (cooperation, courtesy, and consideration of others), leadership (personality, self-control, and ability to assume responsibility) and patriotism (unselfish interest in family, school, community and nation) to an outstanding degree.
Academically, Adam has received the Star Reader Award, the ACE Award, and was Student of the Month twice. Adam also enjoys baseball, chess, and playing the guitar and is a crew leader at Sonic Drive-In.
Adam stated in his application for the DAR Good Citizen Scholarship Contest that he "honors his parents and serves his fellow man by putting God first in his life."
The DAR Good Citizen Program and Scholarship Contest is sponsored each year by the Daughters of the American Revolution to encourage and reward the qualities of good citizenship. The program is open to all senior class students enrolled in accredited public or private secondary schools that are in good standing with their state Boards of Education. Only one student per year may be honored as a school's DAR Good Citizen.
Adam Worthington has received two DAR Good Citizenship Awards, the Good Citizenship Award as a graduating eighth-grader and this one as a senior.
