RANGELEY — Friday, Jan. 27, Haley Morrill, a senior at Rangeley High School, was presented with the Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen Award.

Laura Donnellan, Secretary of the Colonial Daughters Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Farmington presented the award.

Morrill is the daughter of Steve and Roberta (Bobby) Morrill of Rangeley. This was a special occasion, as Haley’s mother Roberta was also a recipient of the DAR Good Citizen award when she attended Rangeley High School.

Morrill received a Good Citizen pin and a certificate authorized and signed by the National Society’s President General Anne Turner Dillon and Maine State Society’s Regent Elizabeth Blake Hotchkiss.

The Colonial Daughters Chapter sponsors six area schools to recognize excellence in high school seniors. Each school’s faculty nominates several candidates for this honor each year. The person chosen to receive the honor must have demonstrated each of the qualities as defined by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution to an outstanding degree.

These qualities are dependability (truthfulness, loyalty and punctuality): service (cooperation, courtesy, and consideration of others): leadership (personality, self-control, and ability to assume responsibility) and patriotism (unselfish interest in family, school, community and union).

During her years at Rangeley High School, Morrill achieved high honors in her academic classes and was also recognized for her outstanding qualities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism to her home, school and community. She is hoping to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in molecular biology and neuroscience and then go on to a MD/PhD program and become a research neurologist.

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote patriotism, preserve American history, and support better education for our nation’s children. Its members are descended from the patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War. With more than 180,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations.
