The Dubois County Daughters of the American Revolution honored the Good Citizen winners for the county. The first-place winner was Laura Gobert from Jasper High School. The second-place winner was Gryffin Flowers of Forest Park. Adrienne Betz was the winner from Northeast Dubois High School and Jordan Eckert was the winner from Southridge High School.

All students in the senior class in Dubois County were eligible for the award. Winners were students who have demonstrated in an outstanding way the qualities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism in their home, school and community. They also were required to write an essay.

Each school’s Good Citizen winner receives a gold and blue pin. Around the rim of this pin are 13 stars representing the 13 original colonies. A band of blue enamel identifies it with the DAR Society. Dependability, service, leadership and patriotism are titles of four books in the center suggesting school days. Circling these is the laurel wreath of honor, and behind it is the torch of understanding. In addition, the students receive a certificate and wallet recognition card. The first- and second-place winner of the county also received monetary awards.
