SR503: SR503 Midtown High School; congratulate

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Midtown High School's literary competition team for winning the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) 4A State Literary Championship in both Domestic and International Extemporaneous Speaking categories. The resolution praises the team's dedication and names seniors Charlotte Keenan and Henry Carter as members of the championship squad. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the school as a keepsake of the honor.

Midtown High School, its extemporaneous speaking team, and the named students Charlotte Keenan and Henry Carter are directly recognized. The Secretary of the Senate is tasked with preparing the commemorative copy for distribution.

• The resolving clause has the Senate formally congratulate Midtown High School and wish the team continued success.
