Today, nearly 1,000 students from Girard, Slingluff, Cloverdale, Grandview, Montana and Hidden Lake elementary schools filled the Northview High School gymnasium. After finishing 10 weeks in the Super Citizen Program, they are gathered to celebrate their accomplishments and honor local heroes from the stage.
These students have learned their important roles in America’s future thanks to an immersive experience in civic, character, financial literacy and social studies. And in the closing piece of the program, Torch Teams (or “Helping Hands” for the younger students), students are applying those crucial lessons in the real world.  They chose heroes who embodied the traits of amazing citizens and read essays from stage before presenting them with Authentic Liberty Replicas & Liberty Pins. They learned that “when you honor a hero, you become a hero!”

Today’s event and the donation of Super Citizen teaching kits was made possible by the Dothan City Alliance (made up of: AAA Cooper, Dothan Education Foundation, Kirkland Jewelry, Mark Saliba, Mayor Mike Schmidz, Sam’s Club, The Dover Family Foundation and Walmart.) With their help, we are teaching, inspiring and empowering our Next Great Americans.
