Port Huron, MI— The Ottawa Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in Port Huron would like to announce that our DAR Good Citizen Essay Scholarship Winner for the ‘23-‘24 school year is Rachel Case.
Case, a senior at New Life Christian Academy (Kimball), is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Case (Columbus). She is a high-achieving student and leader and a young woman of character, who’s active in student government and athletics. She plays violin in an orchestra, has bred and raised animals for 4-H and competed in forensics in Science Olympiads. In the fall, she’ll either attend the University of Michigan or Hillsdale College, where she has been awarded Merit Scholarships to study Biomedical Science.
Case attended Ottawa Chapter’s April meeting where she introduced herself and read her essay. She received a commemorative pin, a certificate of achievement from the chapter and a $300 scholarship. Her essay will now be judged at the state level.
DAR Good Citizens Scholarships are in its 90th year. They’re given to encourage and reward the qualities of good citizenship. This award recognizes and rewards high school seniors who possess the qualities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism in their homes, schools, and communities.
