STAR Students, Teachers Honored By Douglas County Rotary

DOUGLAS COUNTY, GA – The Rotary Club of Douglas County recognized the honorees at its meeting on Feb. 11.

Jennifer Liu from Douglas County High School was named STAR Student for the county, meaning her SAT score was the top score for all students in Douglas County. Jennifer plans to attend the Georgia Institute of Technology in the fall.

STAR Students must be an enrolled senior in an accredited Georgia public or private high school. The program is designed to recognize high school seniors who have the highest SAT score in their graduating class. STAR Students select a teacher who has meant the most to them in their educational journey as their STAR Teacher.
