We wish them well as they embark on their next steps after high school.” Georgia Scholars are students who have carried exemplary course loads during their four years of high school; who performed excellently in all cours es; who successfully participated in interscholastic events at their schools and in their communities; and who have assumed active roles in extracur ricular activities sponsored by their schools. “The 2019 Georgia Scholars exem plify our mission of educating the whole child,” State Superintendent Woods said in a press release. “They are well- rounded students who have engaged with a wide array of educational op portunities - from traditional class room learning to community service. I congratulate each of these students and wish them well as they embark on their next steps after high school.” The program is coordinated by GaDOE’s Excellence Recognition of fice and through local coordinators in each public school system and private schools throughout the state.
