In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Lucus Hagerich, a student at Armuchee High School, for being selected as the school's 2025-2026 STAR Student, an honor given to the student with the highest score on a single administration of the Scholastic Aptitude Test who also ranks in the top 10 percent or top ten of his class. The resolution notes that Lucus chose teacher David Little as Armuchee High School's STAR Teacher in recognition of his support and guidance. The House formally commends Lucus for his achievement and wishes him continued academic success, and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for him.

  • Recognizes teacher David Little as the STAR Teacher chosen by Lucus for his guidance and support.
  • Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Lucus Hagerich.
