The Boynton Lions Club honors Boynton Elementary graduates as the 2025 Major Thomas Duckett Awards winners that exemplify the spirit and character of Catoosa County war hero Major Thomas Duckett. Mr. Duckett was reported MIA, missing in action, during the Vietnam War when his fighter jet was shot down. Mr. Duckett graduated from Boynton Elementary and Ringgold High School. 

Ms. Levin presented the 2025 Major Thomas Duckett awards, including $100, to Boynton graduates Josie Smith and Sullivan Foster.

The Boynton Lions Club also honors a Boynton Elementary graduate that exhibits the encouraging nature of service shared by late Lion David Carlock.
Mr. Carlock, a television journalist, Catoosa County Magistrate judge and coroner, chose the principles of Lionism - fostering a spirit of understanding, promoting principles of good citizenship and taking an interest in the welfare of others - as benchmarks of his service. 

Ms. Levin presented the David Carlock award, including $100, to Boynton graduate Bret Smartt.

The Boynton Lions Club meets the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of Boynton United Methodist Church.
