Recognizing the North Atlanta High School sabre fencing team for winning the 2023, 2024,
and 2025 On Guard High School Fencing League of Georgia Sabre Team state

## Summaries written by Georgia Commons

The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the text above and is not part of the resolution. Quote the text, not the summary.

A Senate resolution honors the North Atlanta High School sabre fencing team for winning three straight state sabre team championships from 2023 through 2025.

### Plain-language summary

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.

### What it does

- Formally recognizes the North Atlanta High School sabre fencing team for winning the 2023, 2024, and 2025 state sabre team championships.
- Names the individual student athletes, co-captains, coach, and teacher sponsor associated with the team's success.
- Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the team.

### Who it affects

The resolution directly names the North Atlanta High School sabre fencing team's student athletes, its coach Kaja Lasker, and teacher sponsor Kelsey Sirmana. It also touches Atlanta Public Schools and North Atlanta High School more broadly through the recognition of the school's achievement.

### Why it matters

The resolution carries no legal or financial effect on Georgians; it is a ceremonial honor. Its practical impact is limited to giving the team, school, and community official recognition from the Georgia Senate for their athletic achievement.

### Key provisions

- Recites the team's three consecutive state sabre team championships in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
- Lists individual student athletes by name, including co-captains, two-year champions, and one-year champions.
- Commends Coach Kaja Lasker and teacher sponsor Kelsey Sirmana for their leadership.
- Resolves that the Senate formally recognizes the team's achievement.
- Directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide a copy of the resolution to the team for distribution.
