Last action February 10, 2026 · Senate Read and Adopted
A Georgia Senate resolution honors the North Atlanta High School sabre fencing team for winning the state championship in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with no changes to state law.
In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a law that changes anyone's rights or responsibilities. 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 three years in a row, in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The resolution names the individual student athletes, coaches, and the teacher sponsor involved, and praises the team's hard work, discipline, and sportsmanship. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for the team, so they have a formal record of the recognition. It does not create funding, penalties, or any ongoing legal obligation.
