Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate announced last week that Lone Tree High School was one of 18 schools that qualified for the Carrie Chapman Catt Award for the 2019-20 school year.
The award is given to schools that register at least 90% of their eligible students to vote.
Pate created the award last September to encourage voter registration in high schools and to promote the new state law that allows 17-year-olds to register and to participate in primary elections.
““Lone Tree High School is very excited to achieve the Carrie Chapman Catt Award,” said Mick Dickinson, social studies teacher at Lone Tree High School. “As a rural high school, it is important to get as many citizens prepared and involved as possible, and that begins with voting.
“It is no small honor to know that our students will be integral to both statewide and local elections and policies. We appreciate the help the Secretary of State’s office gave us in linking these seniors to their civic duties.”
Mid-Prairie High School was recognized with a certificate for registering at least 50% of their eligible students to vote.
