Traverse City Central High School tenth grade student, Tristan Worthington and ninth grade student, Christina Karakos have been recognized as winners in the American History Essay Contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). Since 1996, the DAR has joined with the National Italian American Foundation to sponsor an annual national essay contest on Christopher Columbus. The contest is open to student in grades 9 through 12.
Central Grade School fifth grade student, Madeline Merwin was the winner of the American History Essay Contest at the elementary level. The subject of the essay contest this year was “The Completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad.” Students were invited to write from one of several perspectives, such as, “How you felt on May 10, 1869, when the golden spike was driven at Promontory Summit, Utah?”
The DAR, founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a volunteer women's service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America's future through better education for children.
TCAPS’ students were honored at an awards presentation and luncheon on Saturday, April 17th, at the Traverse City Elks Lodge.
