The 2023-2024 STAR Student and STAR Teacher were recognized during a Stephens County BOE meeting by SCHS Principal Jessica Simmons. STAR Student Garvin Robinson plans to attend Georgia Tech in the Fall 2024 to major in Mechanical Engineering. He chose Lt. Col (Retired) David Priatko, JROTC Senior Army Instructor at SCHS, as his STAR Teacher.
