Princeton Christian Academy freshman Maximus Gibson was named the chapter winner of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution essay contest.

The topic for the contest was “Patriots of the American Revolution,” and Gibson wrote his essay on Rodger Sherman.

Gibson and his parents, Gladys and Aaron Gibson, are invited to a luncheon hosted by the DAR on March 7 where he will read his essay and receive his award.

Gibson was surprised at Princeton Christian Academy by DAR Regent Nancy Gartner, who announced his achievement before the high school.
