The resolution praises the school's principal, board of trustees, staff, parents, and students, and states that the school has become a significant cultural and educational institution for Korean Americans in Georgia. It resolves that House members commend the school and wish it continued success, and directs the Clerk of the House to send an official copy of the resolution to the school.
