A Georgia House resolution honors Prakash Gupta, the 2025 salutatorian at Rockdale Magnet School for Science and Technology, for his academic achievements and extracurricular involvement.

In plain language

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives commends Prakash Gupta, who was named salutatorian of the Class of 2025 at Rockdale Magnet School for Science and Technology (RMSST).

The resolution formally recognizes his academic performance and extracurricular record, and it directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Gupta.
