HR 1493: Johnson, Julia; Rome City High School's 2025-2026 STAR Teacher; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Julia Johnson, a teacher at Rome City High School, who was selected as that school's STAR Teacher for the 2025-2026 school year (an honor tied to the STAR Student program, in which a top graduating student names the teacher who most influenced their education). The resolution states the General Assembly's view that quality education is a top priority, praises Johnson's commitment to teaching, and formally commends her on behalf of the House. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Johnson. The resolution does not change any Georgia law, create any program, or spend any state funds.

• Formally commends Julia Johnson by name for being named Rome City High School's 2025-2026 STAR Teacher.
• States the House of Representatives' recognition of her contributions to education and welfare of young people in Georgia.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Johnson.
• Does not amend any Georgia statute, create any program, or authorize any funding.

The resolution directly names Julia Johnson, a teacher at Rome City High School. It has no legal or practical effect on other teachers, students, schools, or Georgia residents beyond this individual recognition.

This is a symbolic honor rather than a policy change. It carries no funding, legal requirement, or effect on schools statewide; its practical effect is limited to formally recognizing one teacher's achievement in the House's official record.

• Recites that quality education is a key objective of the General Assembly and praises Johnson's commitment to teaching.
• Formally resolves that the House of Representatives commends Julia Johnson as Rome City High School's 2025-2026 STAR Teacher.
