Charles Henderson High School senior Addyson Bryan was named the Oliver Wiley Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution’s Good Citizen of the Year at the chapter’s meeting this week.   

Each high school in the county was invited to nominate a member of the senior class who displays the qualities of a good citizen – dependability, service, patriotism and leadership.

Joining  Bryan for the honor were Sage Outlaw, Goshen High School; Anthony Glover, Jr., Pike County High School, and Lauren Johnson, Pike Liberal Arts School.

Mae Beth Gibson, chapter citizenship chair, said all four nominees are outstanding examples of good citizenship and have excelled academically as well.

Addyson was invited to read her essay, which focused on how the combined actions of good citizens keep America moving forward.

“To keep our country moving forward, our citizens must be respectful of the laws, be informed voters, be responsible for our actions and be protectors of our freedoms,” she said. “We must also be defenders of our Constitution.”
