Last action February 11, 2025 · House Read and Adopted

A House resolution honors the Forsyth Central High School engine team for winning the 2024 Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge, the team's third consecutive national title.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Forsyth Central High School engine team for winning the 2024 Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge with a final time of 17:27, marking the team's third consecutive national championship. The resolution notes the team earned $10,000 in scholarships and that team member Eli Boudreaux received a full-ride scholarship hosted by the Turner School. The House formally congratulates the team and wishes them continued success, and directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to the team for distribution.
