Trion City Schools has announced the STAR Student and STAR Teacher for this year.

The honor went to Trion Senior Grant Roach and he chose Mr. Scott Petty as the teacher who has influenced him the most.

The STAR Program is designed to recognize high school seniors who have the highest SAT score in their graduating class and meet all the other program requirements.  A student must meet the “top 10” requirement based on cumulative high school (grades 9 through 11) grade point average numerically computed by utilizing the system normally utilized by the school. Calculation should be on cumulative grades through the junior year.

The student with the highest SAT score who is also in the top 10 percent of the class is chosen as the STAR student. Chattooga High School Senior Aleigha Satterfield earned the highest SAT score in her class.
