On Tuesday night, seniors from area high schools were recognized by the Calhoun Elks Club with a special banquet at the Elks Lodge. The STAR Students were celebrated alongside their teachers, parents, school counselors, principals, superintendents, and community leaders.
Vicky Chen of Calhoun High School was recognized as Calhoun High School's 2024 PAGE STAR Student, along with her STAR Teacher Ms. Lori Fisher.
Vicky, the daughter of Yi Kun Chen and Lan Fang Wang, earned the recognition for academic achievement and performance on the SAT. Vicky selected Mrs. Lori Fisher, Healthcare teacher at Calhoun High School, as her STAR Teacher.
The Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program is sponsored, administered, and promoted by the Professional Association of Georgia Educators Foundation (PAGE) and the PAGE Foundation. Since its establishment in 1958, the STAR program has honored more than 29,000 students and the teachers they have selected as having the most influence on their academic achievement.
Congratulations to Vicky and Ms. Fisher on their achievement, and a special thank you to the Calhoun Elks Club for their continued support in recognizing students and providing scholarship opportunities.
