GREENSBORO, Ga.  — Mason Reddick, Lake Oconee Academy, Kensley Godbee, Nathaniel Greene Academy, and Kennedy League, Greene County High School, have all been named as their schools’ STAR students for this academic year.  

In addition, Reddick was named a 2022 PAGE STAR Student Region Winner. Rotarian Eileen Domaleski announced these winners at a recent Rotary Club of Greene and Putnam Counties weekly Club meeting. 

Reddick chose Michelle Harth as his STAR teacher. Godbee chose Farrett Boswell as her STAR teacher. League selected Greg Simmons as her STAR teacher.

 

The PAGE Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program, in its 64^th year, is sponsored, administered, and promoted by the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE). Since its creation in 1958, the STAR program has honored nearly 28,500 students and the teachers selected as the most influential to their academic achievement. To obtain the 2022 STAR nomination, high school seniors must have the highest score on a single test date on the SAT and be in the top 10 percent or top 10 students of their class based on grade point average. 

 

STAR begins each year in participating high schools throughout Georgia when the STAR Student is named and chooses a STAR Teacher to share in this recognition. The students and their teachers are honored by their schools and receive special recognition in their communities from one of the more than 170 statewide civic organizations and businesses that serve as local sponsors of the STAR program. Students then compete for school system titles, and those winners compete for region honors. Region winners compete for the honor of being named State PAGE STAR Student. STAR Teachers continue on with their STAR Students at every level of the program. 

 

The Professional Association of Georgia Educators honors outstanding students and educators and encourages academic excellence through competitive academic initiatives such as PAGE STAR, the PAGE Academic Bowl for Middle Grades and the PAGE Georgia Academic Decathlon.
