McDONOUGH â Union Grove High student Tyler Cook and Emily Mai, Community Christian School, have been named the STAR Student winners for Henry County.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the annual ceremony held at Eagleâs Landing Country Club was suspended this year. However, all STAR Students and STAR Teachers were recognized at their respective schools with a visit from school officials and members of the Henry County Chamber of Commerce.
Students earning the countyâs STAR Student designation represent the highest score on the SAT among finalists from each high school â public and private â in Henry County. This is the second year in a row that two students have tied for the top score. Unique to this yearâs slate of honorees is the three-way tie for one schoolâs â Luella High School â top SAT score.
