Last action February 25, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution formally commends David Little, named Armuchee High School's 2025-2026 STAR Teacher, for his work as an educator.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring David Little, a teacher at Armuchee High School who was selected as the school's STAR Teacher for the 2025-2026 year. The STAR program recognizes outstanding teachers chosen by top students. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It states the House's view that quality education is a top priority, praises Little's contributions to students in Georgia, and formally commends him. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Little.
