Cobb Schools is proud to celebrate a remarkable group of graduating seniors named 2026 Georgia Scholars by the Georgia Department of Education. This prestigious recognition highlights students who go above and beyond in the classroom, in their schools, and throughout their communities.
This year, 162 students across Georgia earned the Georgia Scholar distinction, a testament to their hard work, character, and commitment to excellence. Among them are outstanding students from the Cobb County School District, each representing the very best of what it means to be a Cobb learner.
The Georgia Scholar program honors high school seniors who demonstrate excellence in both school and community life. These students are not only academically accomplished but also actively engaged leaders who contribute their time and talents to make a difference. Each honoree receives a special seal for their diploma and a graduation cord, symbolizing their achievement and dedication.
These students are leaders in every sense — whether in the classroom, on the stage, on the field, or through service initiatives that make a difference close to home. In Cobb, that excellence shines brightly.
