Spanish term or phrase: Año del Deber Ciudadano"
This appears as a school motto on a transcript for a student......

I'm trying to think of a good catch phrase in English that still conveys the idea behind the statement without changing what is being said here. Your input would be appreciated!!!!!

Alternatively, you could translate it as "Citizens' Duties Year" but this sounds rather cacophonic.
