DAR Good Citizens are selected by the faculty at each school and must demonstrate at least 4 qualities: dependability, service to others, leadership, and patriotism to the United States of America. The honor of being named a high school’s DAR Good Citizen carries a lifetime distinction as one who was chosen above all others in the senior class at his/her high school.
