Sixteen students from three high schools in East Cobb were named Georgia Scholars for 2023 this week by Georgia School Superintendent Richard Woods.
Georgia Scholars are identified by the state Department of Education as “seniors who have achieved excellence in school and community life” and they receive a seal with that designation for their diploma.
More from the Georgia DOE on the selection criteria:
“Georgia Scholars carried exemplary course loads during their four years of high school, performed excellently in all courses, successfully participated in interscholastic events at their schools and communities, and assumed leadership roles in extracurricular activities sponsored by their schools.”
The class of 2023 has 154 Georgia Scholars, and Wheeler High School in East Cobb has the most for any single school, with 11 in all.
Walton High School has five Georgia Scholars this year, and Lassiter High School has one. The only other school in the Cobb County School District with Georgia Scholars is Hillgrove High School, which has three (full list here).
“I wish them continued success as they embark on their futures, including plans for after high school and beyond,” Woods said in a release. “I know they’ll continue to make us all proud.”
