May 8, 2014 – One-hundred and sixteen
graduating seniors from schools across Georgia have been recognized as 2014
Georgia Scholars, the Georgia Department of Education announced today.
Through the Georgia Scholar
program, the Department identifies and honors high school seniors who have
achieved excellence in school and community life. The program is coordinated by
the Department’s Office of School Improvement through local coordinators in
each public school system and in private schools throughout the state. Each Georgia
Scholar receives a seal for his or her diploma.
“There is only one thing I can
say about our 116 Georgia Scholars, and that is: I am so proud to call each of
you a student in the state of Georgia,” State School Superintendent Dr. John
Barge said. “I know this honor is, for each of you, the result of many years of
hard work, perseverance and dedication. Again, all of us at the Department are
proud of each one of you, and wish you the best of luck in your future
endeavors.”
Students
eligible for Georgia Scholar recognition are high school seniors who
exhibit excellence in all phases of school life, in community activities, and
in the home. Georgia Scholars are students who have carried exemplary course
loads during the four years of high school; who performed excellently in all
courses; who successfully participated in interscholastic events at their
schools and in their communities; and who have assumed active roles in
extracurricular activities sponsored by their schools.
