DESCRIPTION: This year we are asking students to personalize their essays while encouraging them to expand their understanding of citizenship beyond an abstract concept, envisioning it as knowledge and actions inspired by America’s founding principles.The specific essay prompt this year is: “What are essential qualities of a citizen in your community in 21st century America?” [For more information on the essay topic, review the website.]
