Three Spokane-area students were awarded the Good Citizenship Medal from the Jonas Babcock Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

The students and the schools they attend are: Carrie Earlscourt, Medical Lake Middle School, Jessica Herbes, Deer Park Junior High, and Bradley Whipple, Lamont Junior High.

The medal is given to outstanding boys and girls of a graduating class. It was designed to offer a concrete and tangible plan for training in American citizenship.

The award is based on honesty, high principles, loyalty, leadership, truthfulness, punctuality, moral strength and stability, and cleanliness of mind and body.

Several Spokane students have earned their associate’s degrees from ITT Technical Institute. The students, listed by their program of study, are:

Electronics Engineering Technology: Gary Carlson, Marcus Webb, Kirt Warner, Thomas Schnebly, and Kim Coyner.
