Every year the Cass County Daughters of the American Revolution hold an essay and scholarship contest called the "Good Citizen Award." All the schools in Cass had representatives there and a panel of three judged the essays. This year, Cory Harding was chosen. First by his teachers and peers to be in the contest, and then by the panel as the best in the county. There is a small scholarship that comes with this honor and his essay will move to state and, if he is successful there, the national level.
Congratulations Cory!
