A House resolution honors the Alpharetta Raiders Volleyball Team for going undefeated and winning the 2024 GHSA 6A Volleyball State Championship, the school's third title.

In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Alpharetta Raiders Volleyball Team for completing the 2024 season with a perfect 36-0 record and winning the GHSA 6A Volleyball State Championship, the third such title in the school's history and a repeat of the prior year's win. The resolution praises the team's coaches, Marshall King and Grace Fossier, along with the players' teamwork, offense, defense, and dedication. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare an official copy of the resolution for the team, giving them a formal keepsake of the recognition. It has no regulatory or funding effect.
