Catherine Hughes of Gordon Central High School has been announced as the 2023 PAGE STAR Student.
Catherine, the daughter of Alan and Renee Hughes, earned the recognition for academic achievement and performance on the SAT. Catherine selected Mrs. Connie Worley, Spanish teacher at Gordon Central High School, as her STAR Teacher.
Catherine has maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout her high school career and is ranked in the top 10% of her class. Catherine is actively involved in the Gordon Central Performing Arts Program, earning a GHSA Championship last year for International Extemporaneous Speech, as well as a Shuler Award for Featured Performance her sophomore year. Catherine was chosen to participate in the Governor’s Honors Program in Social Studies her sophomore year and participated in Georgia Girls’ State as a junior, serving as president of the Senate.
The Student Teacher Achievement Program (STAR) is sponsored, administered, and promoted by the Professional Association of Georgia Educators Foundation (PAGE) and the PAGE Foundation. Since its inception 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. To obtain the STAR nomination, graduating high school seniors must have the highest score on a single test date on the SAT and be in the top 10 percent or top 10 students of their class based on grade point average.
Catherine has selected Connie Worley, Spanish teacher at Gordon Central High School, as her STAR teacher. Catherine states that she chose Mrs. Worley because "her encouragement never fails to boost my confidence and she never lets me forget what I am capable of when I work hard."
STAR begins each year in participating high schools throughout Georgia when the STAR student is named and chooses a STAR teacher to share in this recognition. The students and their teachers are honored by their schools and receive special recognition in their communities from one of the more than 172 statewide civic organizations and businesses that serve as local sponsors of the STAR program. Students then compete for school system titles, and those winners compete for region honors. Region winners contend for the honor of being named State PAGE STAR student. STAR Teachers continue on with their STAR Students at every level of the program.
Gordon Central High School would like to congratulate both Catherine Hughes and Mrs. Connie Worley!
