In plain language
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives formally recognizes Student Leadership NORTH, previously called Student Leadership Johns Creek. The organization runs a two year leadership program for sophomores and juniors at several area high schools, including Centennial, Chattahoochee, Johns Creek, Northview, Alpharetta High School, Mt. Pisgah School, Providence Christian Academy, and Innovation Academy. The resolution describes how the program pairs students with business, city, and government leaders, has students complete community service projects in the first year, and helps them apply leadership skills beyond high school in the second year. It notes strong college outcomes among graduates. The resolution commends the organization and directs the Clerk of the House to send it a copy of the resolution, but it does not change any Georgia law.
