Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution formally commends Alexandria Dilbeck of Chattooga County High School for being named the school's 2026 STAR Student. ### Plain-language summary This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Alexandria Dilbeck, a student at Chattooga County High School, for being selected as the school's 2026 STAR Student. The STAR program recognizes the student in each school with the highest score on a single administration of the three-part Scholastic Aptitude Test who also ranks in the top 10 percent or top ten of their class. The resolution also notes that Alexandria chose educator Julie Lane as her STAR Teacher, an honor students in the program give to a teacher who supported them through high school. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy for distribution to Alexandria Dilbeck. It does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose any requirements. ### What it does - Formally commends Alexandria Dilbeck for being named Chattooga County High School's 2026 STAR Student. - Recognizes educator Julie Lane, whom Alexandria selected as the school's 2026 STAR Teacher. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Alexandria Dilbeck. - Expresses the House's best wishes for Alexandria's continued academic success. ### Who it affects This resolution directly names and honors one student, Alexandria Dilbeck, and one teacher, Julie Lane, both associated with Chattooga County High School.
