Henry County Recognizes Their Star Students

Congratulations to the Henry County STAR students.  These students are recognized for their outstanding achievements in and out of the classroom.  Teachers who inspire these students are also recognized in this program.  Learn more about the STAR program in the Henry Daily Harold.

Congratulations to Henry County’s STAR students.

At the annual Student Teacher Achievement Recognition at Eagle’s Landing County Club, Thursday morning, the young men and young ladies were celebrated for their achievements.

The Chamber of Commerce and the Professional Association of Georgia Educators recognize the students each year based on their testing scores and academic performance.

Teachers who inspire these students toward academic excellence are also recognized.
 
The Henry Daily Herald was proud to be part of the STAR student recognitions by highlighting the individual students in the Wednesday edition and providing coverage of the event in this edition.
Congratulations to Brittany Burdette, Christopher Campbell, Nash Van Zandvliet, Patrick Oney, Courtney Allen, Savannah Holcomb, Anthony Ciccarello, Collin Garnett, Ammad Ashraf, Cayla Doolittle, Sol Ah Jung, Sydney Wilson and Charlie Campbell.

We hope all of our students will be able to continue their education, pursue their dreams and hopefully many of them will choose to return to Henry County, make a living, and raise their own families here some day.

While these students are being spotlighted for the level of their achievements, they are a microcosm of the excellence than can be found in both public and private schools throughout Henry County.

While bad behavior sometimes gets the attention of the public and the media, the number of bad-behaving students is very small when compared to the thousands who go to school each day, do the things they are supposed to do and act responsibly.

Largely, those students who excel, both in the classroom and in life, have parents who are also on the job, who incubate a loving environment in the home, support the school system and celebrate successes.

While discipline and corrective action may be necessary in schools, and in life, it is equally important that whether it is a student, a friend, an employee, colleague or family member that we always try and take the time to give a pat on the back, a warm smile and say, “Job well done.”

In this case, to these classroom champions who have distinguished themselves as Henry County’s STAR students we say, job very well done.
