We are always looking for ways to recognize our students and
their accomplishments! This is a program
that can provide your student with recognition at the state level. Through the Georgia Scholar program, the
Department of Education identifies and honors high school seniors who have
achieved excellence in school and community life. The program is coordinated by
the Department’s Excellence Recognition Office and 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.
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;
- who have assumed active roles in extracurricular activities sponsored by their schools.
The recognition is open to any student who qualifies. Please review the application closely before
applying. Page 2 lists specific criteria
for applicants. The application is due
on January 31st, 2017. Please let your Mr. Kulp know if you are
completing this application.
