(ROCKWALL, TX) On Feb. 29, the Lone Star Chapter of National Charity League, Inc. honored the members of the graduating class of 2020 (Ticktockers) for their successful completion of the NCL experience and requirements along with their commitment to the organization and the community. The 27 Ticktockers represent the following high schools: Heritage Christian Academy, Rockwall-Heath High School, Rockwall High School, Sunshine Bible Academy and Ursuline Academy of Dallas.

Highlights of the celebratory formal event, which was held at the Omni Dallas Hotel, included individual presentation of each girl and her accomplishments, dinner and dancing, complete with the father-daughter waltz. In addition, the ceremony included sentiments from their class president, the president of the NCL Lone Star Chapter, as well as a video presentation with a message from each Ticktocker. Senior Presentation is a time-honored tradition which serves as the finale to six years of learning and charitable endeavors. The young women of this class, along with their mothers, have collectively given 8078 hours to Rockwall County philanthropies during their time as members.

NCL is a non-profit organization comprised of mothers and daughters, with membership beginning when the girls are in seventh grade and continuing through their senior year in high school.
