She also praised him
for “the impact he has
on our student body.”
He also plays football.
Ryan said about
Cleveland, “He took dry
boring content and made
it exciting.”
His teacher called his

to Mercer University,
where he has a $24,000
per year scholarship.
He plays soccer, has
completed three AP

three more.
Perry has done this
before. He was recog
nized for being STAR
teacher three times.
He said he coached
Isaac until he was about
15.
He called his student
“not the most imposing"
player, but “you can’t
get past Isaac.”
“I open the door. Isaac
goes through it and he
brings back brilliant
things,” Perry said.
“Every now and then
you get a STAR student
and they don’t need a
teacher. They need a
mentor.”
Isaac “will represent
us well. He will not let
us down,” Perry said.
Tanner was praised
for his “across the board
excellence.”
He also is the class
salutatorian.
He won the school

He plans to attend
Berry College, where he
will pitch on the base
ball team.
Butler said he has
“exceptional intellec
tual abilities” and pro
duces “sophisticated
analysis of government
issues.”
Chris McMichael,
superintendent of Bar-
row County schools,
introduced the program
and said the STAR pro
gram “gets to the heart
of what education is.”
