## Summaries written by Georgia Commons

The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the text above and is not part of the resolution. Quote the text, not the summary.

A Georgia House resolution formally congratulates the South Forsyth High School girls swimming team for winning the 2026 GHSA Class 6A State Championship.

### Plain-language summary

This is a commendation resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, a ceremonial statement rather than a change to state law. It recognizes the South Forsyth High School girls swimming team for winning the 2026 GHSA (Georgia High School Association) Class 6A State Championship during the 2025-2026 season.
The resolution praises the team's dedication and competitive spirit, thanks the coaches, families, and supporters who contributed to the season, and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the school. It does not create any new rule, funding, or legal requirement.

### What it does

- Formally congratulates the South Forsyth High School girls swimming team for winning the 2026 GHSA Class 6A State Championship.
- Extends the House's appreciation to the team's coaches, families, and supporters for the season.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for delivery to South Forsyth High School.

### Who it affects

The South Forsyth High School girls swimming team, its coaches, families, and supporters, and the school itself, which will receive a copy of the resolution from the Clerk of the House of Representatives.

### Why it matters

The resolution carries no legal or financial effect; it is a symbolic honor. Its practical impact is limited to public recognition for the team and school, giving them an official record of the state legislature's acknowledgment of their championship.

### Key provisions

- The resolving clause congratulates the team for winning the 2026 GHSA Class 6A State Championship and thanks coaches, families, and supporters.
