Local NCL Chapter Recognizes Senior Class of 2026

The Northeast Atlanta Chapter of National Charity League, Inc. (NCL), the nation’s premier mother-daughter volunteer organization, recently celebrated its graduating high school seniors at the annual Senior Recognition Ceremony and Dinner Dance, held at the Standard Club in Johns Creek. The formal event is a time-honored NCL tradition honoring graduating “Ticktockers” upon completion of the NCL six-year program.

The NCL Class of 2026 girls recognized for their accomplishments and service to our community include: Alexa Chase, Skyler Davis, Hadley DeBow, Alden Forsten, AnnaGrace Griffin, Mary Caroline Harrison, Caitlyn Hobby, Meredith Hughes, Emma Johnson, Elly Kush, and Ava Singh. (Katelyn Jones was not in attendance.)

The graduating class represented five local high schools, including Centennial High School, Cottage School, Johns Creek High School, Providence Christian Academy, and Wesleyan School.

“Over the past six years, these young women have grown into confident leaders through their commitment to service and the unique mother-daughter experience NCL provides,” said Tiffany Batiste, President of the NCL Northeast Atlanta Chapter. “Their generosity, resilience, and dedication to our philanthropy partners represent the very best of our chapter and our mission.”

The event featured a traditional white dress ceremony, during which each senior Ticktocker was presented individually, accompanied by a heartfelt parental tribute. Together, the 12 young women of the Class of 2026, along with their mothers, volunteered more than 5985 hours at 23 local charities, including the American Heart Association, Atlanta Ronald McDonald House, Autrey Mill Nature Preserve, Blessings in a Backpack, Chattahoochee Nature Center, CURE Childhood Cancer, FurKids, Hope Thru Soap, Jesse’s House, Meals By Grace, North Fulton Community Charities, Rainbow Village, Strive for Girls, Sunrise Senior Living, and The Sandwich Project.

The top three philanthropies served were The Sandwich Project (1,111 hours), CURE Childhood Cancer (770), and Blessings in a Backpack (515 hours).

Special awards were presented to multiple Ticktockers, including the Senior Service Award, recognizing most cumulative philanthropic hours served during the six years in NCL to Skyler Davis (640 hours). The Modelette Award, recognizing the top three philanthropy hour earners in the current chapter year, was awarded to Skyler Davis, AnnaGrace Griffin, and Caitlyn Hobby. The Mother-Daughter award, recognizing more than 150 philanthropy hours completed together during the current chapter year, was awarded to Skyler and Terri Davis.

The Yellow Rose Bouquet Award for completing 100+ hours of service during the current chapter year and the Star Award for the most leadership hours in the class were both awarded to Skyler Davis. The Angel Award, recognizing random acts of kindness and going above and beyond, was awarded to Hadley DeBow and Ava Singh.
