STAR STUDENTS
Seniors Harrison Lewis and Aayush Patel have been named Milton High School's 2019 PAGE STAR Students. Juan McGruder, President of the Midtown Atlanta Rotary Club, the local STAR program sponsor, recently announced the honor. Each honored student is invited to select a teacher to be named the STAR Teacher. Harrison selected Mr. Bowers, Chorus Teacher at MHS. Aayush selected Mr. Hogya, Science Teacher at MHS. Since its creation by the Georgia Chamber of Commerce in 1958, the STAR program has honored nearly 27,000 students and the teachers they have selected as the most influential to their academic achievement. High school seniors must have the highest score on a single test date on the SAT and be in the top 10 percent of their class to qualify for STAR nomination. STAR students will go on to compete for school system recognition as the top STAR Student, and those winners compete for region honors. Region winners contend for the honor of being named State PAGE STAR Student. STAR Teachers continue on with their STAR Students at every level of the program. Congratulations to our STAR Students and Teachers on earning this recognition of excellence in academic achievement and education! We appreciate PAGE and the Midtown Atlanta Rotary Club for sponsoring the program and honoring these shining stars.
