This committee was created to stimulate a deeper understanding of American History. Each year the committee sponsors a contest for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.

Each year students participate in the American History essay contest. In addition, American History displays are created at various schools.

The Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.) has a two-fold purpose: to inculcate a knowledge and appreciation of America's past in our youth so that they can apply the experiences of history to the problems of the present and to train C.A.R. members in leadership and patriotism.

Stressing the importance of the qualities of good citizenship is the purpose of this committee. There is a contest open to all seniors in public or private high schools across the nation.

Each year the chapter honors DAR Good Citizens. Each school's winner receives a scholarship, thanks to the generosity of the members of this chapter.

The committee is responsible for DAR projects in the two schools the National Society has an ownership interest: Tamassee DAR School and Kate Duncan Smith DAR School, plus four approved schools: Berry College, Crossnore School, Hillside School, and Hindman Settlement School.

Created a little over 25 years ago to meet the challenge of the increasing number of illiterate individuals, this committee encourages the promotion of literacy in adults and children.
