Each Georgia Scholar receives a seal for his or her diploma. Georgia Scholars have carried exemplary course loads during their four years of high school, performed excellently in all courses, participated successfully in interscholastic events at their schools and in their communities and assumed leadership roles in their schools’ extracurricular activities.
