HR339: HR339 McKay, Corbin; Cartersville High School's 2025 STAR Student; commend

This is a commemorative resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Corbin McKay, who was named Cartersville High School's 2025 STAR Student. The STAR Student program recognizes a top-performing student at each school based on standardized test scores and class rank, and that student in turn selects a STAR Teacher who supported them, in this case educator Melissa Moore. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It states the House's praise for Corbin McKay's academic performance and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for him to keep.

• Formally commends Corbin McKay for being named Cartersville High School's 2025 STAR Student.
• States the House's best wishes for his continued academic success.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Corbin McKay.
• Recognizes educator Melissa Moore as the STAR Teacher Corbin selected for her support during his high school years.

The resolution directly names Corbin McKay, a Cartersville High School student, and his chosen STAR Teacher, Melissa Moore. It has no broader legal effect on other students, schools, or Georgia residents.

The resolution carries symbolic rather than legal weight. It gives Corbin McKay and his school public recognition from the Georgia House of Representatives, but it creates no new rights, funding, or requirements for anyone else.

• The preamble explains the STAR Student program, which requires the highest score on one administration of a three-part Scholastic Aptitude Test and top 10 percent or top ten class rank.
• The resolved clause has the House of Representatives commend Corbin McKay and wish him continued academic success.
• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy of the resolution available for distribution to Corbin McKay.
