The Canton and Woodstock Lions Clubs recently honored Cherokee County School District students and teachers at their annual STAR Student and STAR Teacher Recognition Ceremony.

The STAR Student honor is awarded to the student from each Cherokee County public and private high school with the highest SAT score, and the student in the county with the highest overall score is named the Cherokee County STAR (Student Teacher Achievement Recognition) Student.  Each honored student is invited to select his or her favorite teacher to be named the school’s STAR Teacher.  The Cherokee County STAR Student and Teacher then are eligible to compete at the Regional level in the statewide program coordinated by the Professional Association of Georgia
