Five Oglethorpe County School District students spent this past Tuesday and Wednesday as Pages at the Georgia Capitol for the Georgia House of Representatives.
Eighth grader, Camden Huff spent Day 23 of the 2026 Georgia Legislative session with House Representative (124) Trey Rhodes. High School students - John Adams, Jack Baldwin, Jake Huff and Lincoln Paradise spent Day 24 with HR Rhodes and HR Steven Sainz of District 180. Georgia State Senator Lee Anderson of Georgia’s 24th Senate District and HR John Corbitt (174) provided an early morning tour and greeting to the Georgia Capitol.
In addition to earning a crisp $10 bill, they each had an opportunity with House Speaker Jon Burns (159) who shared the House Gavel to bang the sound block at the rostrum of the House Chamber.
While their visit occurred before Cross Over Day, they observed bill presentations and voting on many topics including banning cell phones in high school and Math coursing and instruction.
Each year, Georgia recognizes one outstanding senior from every high school as the STAR Student (Student Teacher Achievement Recognition).
To be named a STAR Student, a senior must:
✔️ Have the highest SAT score in their graduating class (taken through one test date)
✔️ Be in the top 10% or top 10 students of the senior class
Once selected, the STAR Student chooses the teacher who has made the greatest impact on their academic journey to be honored as the STAR Teacher.
This incredible program is sponsored statewide by the PAGE (Professional Association of Georgia Educators) and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.
We are so proud of our Kayden and Mrs. Yauck who represent the very best of our school community!
