Each year through Georgia Scholar, the Georgia Department of Education identifies and honors high school seniors who have achieved excellence in school and in the community. The program is coordinated by the Excellence Recognition Office through local coordinators in public school systems and private schools throughout the state.
Georgia Scholars are HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS who have carried exemplary course loads during their four years of high school and have exhibited excellence in their communities and extracurricular activities.
Georgia Scholars receive seals for their diplomas.
