In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors the Forsyth Central High School One Act Play theater program for winning the 2024 Georgia High School Association (GHSA) Class 6A State Championship for its production of 'Red,' the school's first state title in the activity since 2005. The resolution recognizes individual cast members, including Gavin Haslett for winning Best Actor and Christian Rippe for making the All-Star Cast, and credits Director Kevin Whitley for the program's continued success since it began in the late 1980s. It directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for the school's program.
