We are pleased to partner with the Rotary Club of Madison County to celebrate the accomplishments of our school system, namely our STAR Student and STAR Teacher recipients at this year's annual STAR Student Breakfast. Thank you to our Diamond, Platinum, and Gold Level members for their sponsorship of this event! 

The PAGE Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program, is sponsored, administered, and promoted by the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) and the PAGE Foundation. Since its creation, the STAR program has honored nearly 29,500 students and the teachers they have selected as having had the most influence on their academic achievement. To obtain the 2024 STAR nomination, graduating 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 programs such as PAGE STAR, the PAGE Academic Bowl for Middle Grades, and the PAGE Georgia Academic Decathlon.

We would like to congratulate this year's STAR student Gibson Krolikowski and his STAR teacher Mr. Nathan Herndon from Madison County Middle School!
