DAYTON–The 2020 Chapter BJ, P.E.O. Citizenship Award and $300 was presented two local high school graduates last spring, but were not publicly honored due to the COVID–19 pandemic shutdown.

The cornerstone of their integrity strongly emphasized honesty, courtesy, amiability, morality and punctuality; all marks of a good citizen.

The award consists of a certificate and a $300 check that was presented to them at graduation. The P.E.O. Citizenship Award was first presented in 1930 and has continued for these 90 years.

Recipients are selected by the high school faculty, the associated student body officers and the P.E.O. Awards Committee.
