In plain language
This is a commemorative resolution passed by the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes the North Atlanta High School sabre fencing team for winning the On Guard High School Fencing League of Georgia Sabre Team state championship in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The resolution names the students, coach, and teacher sponsor involved and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide a copy of the resolution to the team for distribution. It does not create any new rules, funding, or requirements; it simply formally acknowledges the team's achievement on the record of the Georgia General Assembly.
