HR324: HR324 Student Leadership NORTH; commend

Last action February 19, 2025 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution commends Student Leadership NORTH, a youth leadership program serving high schools in Johns Creek, Roswell, and Alpharetta, for its work developing young community leaders.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Student Leadership NORTH, formerly called Student Leadership Johns Creek. The organization is a joint effort by local business and civic leaders to train area youth for leadership roles. The resolution describes the program as a two year experience for sophomores and juniors from several area high schools and private schools, including Centennial, Chattahoochee, Johns Creek, Northview, Mt. Pisgah School, Providence Christian Academy, Innovation Academy, and Alpharetta High School. It notes the program's college outcomes and formally recognizes the organization. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy for distribution to the group. It does not change any Georgia law.
