History of the George S. and Stella M. Knight Essay Contest
This contest was originally named in honor of SAR Compatriot President Calvin Coolidge who won an SAR essay contest while a student at Amherst. Compatriot McCarthy DeMere reestablished the contest in 1988. In 1995, the contest was renamed the George S. and Stella M. Knight Essay Contest in honor of their generous gift to the SAR to support this contest. The contest is designed to give high school students an opportunity to explore events that shaped American History.
The deadline for submission to the NC SAR is December 31st.
