This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Camden Cosper, a student at Coosa High School, for being selected as the school's 2026 STAR Student.

The resolution notes that Camden chose educator Kim Owens as the accompanying STAR Teacher, an honor STAR Students give to a teacher who supported them during high school. The resolution has no legal or regulatory effect; it directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for Camden Cosper.
