On Feb. 25, seniors from five schools received Good Citizen awards from the Perrin-Wheaton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

The winners are Abigail Brennan, Wheaton Warrenville South High School; Olivia Bartler, West Chicago High School; Sean Conley, St. Francis High School, Wheaton; Claire Fleming, Wheaton North High School; and Ann Hancock, Wheaton Academy, West Chicago.

The chapter name is associated with the early settlers who founded Wheaton.

Ancestors of the chapter founders included some of the pioneer families who first settled the city of Wheaton. Jude Perrin and James Wheaton were the ancestors of 11 chapter members.

In honor of these first settlers, the request was made that the name Perrin-Wheaton be given to the chapter.
