FLAGSTAFF – This week, U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., honored high school students from across Arizona who received her 2016 Congressional Community Service Awards. Kirkpatrick invited the students and their families to a Monday ceremony at the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff.

  “I believe it’s important to recognize and celebrate those who devote their time and talents to the greater good,” Kirkpatrick said. “It’s so encouraging to see young people embracing the concept of community service, and I have no doubt these students are our nation’s next generation of leaders.”
