In plain language
This resolution is a formal statement from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Jack Johnson, a student at Cartersville High School, for being selected as the school's 2026 STAR Student. The STAR (Student Teacher Achievement Recognition) program recognizes the student in each Georgia high school who earned the highest score on a single administration of the three-part Scholastic Aptitude Test while ranking in the top 10 percent or top ten students of their class. The resolution notes that Jack chose educator Melissa Moore as his STAR Teacher for her guidance and support during his time in school. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for Jack Johnson. The resolution does not change any Georgia law; it is a ceremonial honor.
