In plain language
This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It recognizes Brynn Proctor of Model High School as the school's 2026 STAR Student, an award given to the student in each Georgia high school who earned the highest score on the SAT college entrance exam in a single test administration and ranks in the top 10 percent or top ten students of their class. The resolution also notes that Proctor chose teacher Kelly Goldin as Model High School's 2026 STAR Teacher, since STAR Students select a teacher who supported them through high school. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the document for Proctor. It does not change any Georgia law, create any program, or spend any state money; it simply expresses the House's congratulations.
