Congratulations to the 2024 STAR Students and Teachers from each PCSD high school who were recognized at the March 26th
Board of Education meeting. STAR, or Student-Teacher Achievement Recognition, students are seniors who earn the honor
based on finishing in the top 10 percent of their class and having the highest SAT score. This year for the first time, students at
three high schools finished tied for the highest SAT score. STAR students also select their own STAR teacher to join them at the
recognition. The recognition is sponsored by the Paulding County Chamber of Commerce.
