The nomination period for the Union League "Good Citizenship Day" Award is now open for our High School Juniors.  The ICSHL is lucky to be a part of this program sponsored by the Union League of Philadelphia.  This is the 75th year of the program, with over 18,000 awardees to date, which currently involves 52 local youth organizations.  The mission of the program is to recognize, celebrate, and educate students from the Greater Philadelphia region to be engaged and responsible citizens, creating the leaders of tomorrow.  The ICSHL will select six winners to participate in the Good Citizenship Day.  This year, the award winners will participate in the program virtually, like last year, and the program's two days are April 28 and May 5.
