One senior from each school has been selected as the DAR Good Citizen for 2021.  They were selected by faculty members and classmates as a student who best demonstrates the qualities of a Good Citizen.  Those qualities are dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism.  

The Boeuf River Chapter of the DAR would like to congratulate school winners Kolton Kelley of Delhi Charter School, Jakyra Allen of Delhi High School, Alayna Russell of Mangham High School, Kylie Wicker of Rayville High School and Mary Madilynn Bennett of Riverfield Academy.
