STAR Student Award

Josh Carnes received the STAR student award for the 2014-2015 senior class. To attain the STAR recognition, the student must have the highest score on a single test date for a three-part SAT and be in the top 10 percent or top 10 students of their graduating class based on GPA. The student then selects the teacher he or she feels has been the most instrumental in their academic achievement. Josh chose Mr. Richard Cox as his STAR teacher. Josh will be attending Georgia Southern University in the fall and will be majoring in mechanical engineering.
