This program recognizes high school students who have made a dramatic change in their attitude and performance during their high school years. These changes have enabled the students to overcome adversities and prepare for graduation. We had three appli cants from two local high schools and one from the SW Georgia Homeschool Asso ciation. Lydiah Gilmore from SWGHA, Oneisha Nayshun Jackson from Monroe High School and Logan Clark from Deerfield Winsor. All three participants had very moving stories on what they had to over come during high school in preparation for college and they are all win ners!! It was a very dif ficult decision based on the three very qualified participants and Logan Clark was chosen to represent The Exchange Club of Albany at our District Convention.
