HR 862: Lambert High School Economics Team; winning the 2024 World Economics Cup; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia House of Representatives. It recognizes the Lambert High School Economics Team, which finished first among 398 teams and 2,191 competitors from 50 countries at the 2024 World Economics Cup. The competition's international final focused on the theme of a tech-driven new economy and included objective tests plus a 24-hour team task. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally congratulates the six named team members and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for the team, a customary way the legislature recognizes notable achievements by Georgia residents or institutions.
