Bradley Todd Tusing, a senior at Triton Central High School, is this year’s Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen Essay Contest winner for Shelby County.
Mary Mott Greene chapter of DAR sponsors the contest annually. Guidance department staff or teachers select one student as their school’s Good Citizen. Each Good Citizen participates in the contest by submitting requirements that include an essay written on a topic provided by the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution.
A panel of judges then selects one of the Good Citizens to represent the county at the state competition level. Judges review each Good Citizens’ personal accomplishments within school and the community during their academic careers, letters of reference, grade transcript, and future plans.
Tusing is the son of Ryan and Allison Tusing of Fairland. When he graduates next month from Triton Central, Tusing plans to attend a Christian college to pursue a degree in ministry. He hopes to be a pastor or youth pastor of a church “to inspire a young generation of new students, employees, and members of society to become trustworthy and faithful leaders in the world. It’s clear the world needs more peace, kindness, and love in every area. I intend to do my part to make that happen.”
Representing their respective schools as DAR Good Citizens are:
