We are always looking for ways to recognize our students and their accomplishments! This is a program that can provide your student with recognition at the state level. Through the Georgia Scholar program, the Department of
Education identifies and honors high school seniors who have achieved
excellence in school and community life. The program is coordinated by the
Department’s Excellence Recognition Office and through local coordinators in
each public school system and in private schools throughout the state. Each
Georgia Scholar receives a seal for his or her diploma.
Students eligible for Georgia Scholar recognition are high
school seniors who:
·
exhibit excellence in all phases of school life,
in community activities, and in the home.
·
Georgia Scholars are students who have carried
exemplary course loads during the four years of high school; who performed
excellently in all courses;
·
who successfully participated in interscholastic
events at their schools and in their communities;
·
who have assumed active roles in extracurricular
activities sponsored by their schools.
The recognition is open to any student who qualifies.
Students need to speak to their counselor about getting an application.
