SHS Seniors nominated for DAR Good Citizen Award

Faculty nominated seven students at Seneca High School for the Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen Award. Melissa Bergey, Celeste Wearing, Brett Sherley, Zach Darst, Trey Scheiper, Josiah Thorsland and Bailee Hawkins were nominated based on four qualities: dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. The seven students wrote an essay to be judged by a committee from the Wizard of Tamassee Chapter of National Society DAR in Seneca. This chapter founded in 1916 is named “Wizard of Tamassee” for the famous General Andrew Pickens; the Cherokee Indians called him “Wizard Owl” or “Wizard of Tamassee.”
