Through the Georgia Scholar program, the Georgia Department of Education identifies and honors high school seniors who have achieved excellence in school and community life.
Students eligible for Georgia Scholar recognition are high school seniors who exhibit excellence in all phases of school life, in community activities and in the home.
Georgia Scholars are students who have carried exemplary course loads during their four years of high school, performed excellently in all courses, successfully participated in interscholastic events at their schools and in their communities and assumed active roles in extracurricular activities sponsored by their schools.

I wish them well as they embark on their next steps after high school and know they’ll continue to make us all proud.”
The program is coordinated by GaDOE’s Office of Communication in partnership with local school districts and schools.
