Outstanding Citizens of the Month

Students from all 5 Douglas County high schools are recognized each month by Hightower's Memorial Chapel and Cremation Service.  One student from the senior class is chosen by the faculty of the school to receive the Outstanding Citizen of the Month award which includes a plaque, a check for $50 and a photo in the Douglas County Sentinel newspaper.  The winners of the monthly awards are then eligible for the Outstanding Citizen of the Year award.  If selected for the yearly award, the recipient receives a trophy, a check for $500 and a photo in the Douglas County Sentinel newspaper.  This program is provided by Hightower's Memorial Chapel and Cremation Service / Hightower Family Funeral Homes.
