PAGE STAR
The PAGE STAR program honors Georgia’s highest achieving high school seniors and the teachers who have been most instrumental in their academic development. Since its creation in 1958 by the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, the STAR (Student Teacher Achievement Recognition) program has honored nearly 28,500 students, who have in turn chosen their STAR Teachers to share in this recognition. Every accredited high school in Georgia is eligible to participate in this preeminent student/teacher academic recognition.
In the mid-1990’s, The Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) Foundation was asked by the Georgia Chamber of Commerce and the State Department of Education to assume responsibility for the oversight, administration and promotion of the statewide STAR program. The PAGE Foundation, the PAGE Foundation Board of Trustees, the 95,000-plus PAGE members and the PAGE Board of Directors are privileged to continue the tradition of recognizing Georgia’s future leaders and honoring the professional educators who have nurtured these scholars.
To obtain the STAR nomination, high school students must have the highest score on any single test date of the SAT taken through the November test date of their senior year and be in the top 10 percent or top 10 students of their class based on grade point average. Nominee’s SAT scores must be equal to or higher than the 2021 national average scores on the Evidence Based Reading and Writing and Math sections of the SAT. High school STAR Students compete for system titles; and System STAR Students in turn compete for region-wide honors in the 12 STAR Regions (a listing of the 12 STAR Regions is provided on the last page of the STAR Manual). Region Winners to compete for state PAGE STAR scholarships and awards. High school STAR Students are asked to name their STAR Teachers, who continue with their STAR Students at every level of the program.
Locally, STAR Students and STAR Teachers are honored by their schools and receive special recognition in their communities from one of the more than 172 civic organizations and businesses that serve as local STAR sponsors. Region recognitions are coordinated by Region Chairs, who serve as ambassadors for the state program in the 12 STAR Regions. The State PAGE STAR Competition will be held on April 25, 2022.
*** Please note that local, region and state events may change due to the current pandemic. Thank you for understanding that participant safety is a priority ***

STAR NOMINATION & DECLARATION PROCEDURES
NOMINATION
- STAR Student nominations are to be made by counselors/STAR Contacts without the students’ awareness, i.e., students are not to be advised their names are being submitted. Therefore, student nominees are not to be notified until the nominees have been declared STAR Students by the confirmation received online immediately upon completion/submission of the student nomination form.
- A STAR Teacher should not be selected until after the STAR Student nominee has been confirmed as a STAR Student online. Students should be cautioned not to share information about their selection or their STAR Teacher’s selection with anyone except their parents/guardians at this step of the nomination procedure.
A student may not name more than one STAR teacher and may not decline to name a STAR teacher.
DECLARATION
- STAR Student nominees are immediately confirmed or denied online upon completion and submission of the nomination form. A “confirmation email” will immediately appear after the submission, and the application for the STAR Teacher nomination will be available to complete. (Counselors should expect to receive an email regarding their student’s confirmation. Confirmation is online and sent immediately after the nomination is “submitted.”)
If this immediate “pop-up” does not appear, then something has been omitted on the nomination form, and the counselor should scroll back to see what needs to be completed on the form.
- STAR Teacher nominations are submitted online by counselors/STAR school contacts. The online PAGE STAR program reviews the teacher nomination to be sure the nominee meets all criteria. Counselors/STAR contacts are asked to check criteria in the STAR Manual carefully before submitting teacher nomination.
- STAR Teachers will not be confirmed online; however, you will receive an email confirming your successful completion of the STAR Teacher nomination form.
- If the school does not hear from the PAGE STAR office by January 5, 2022, the school is to assume that its STAR Teacher nominee is confirmed.
- The PAGE STAR office will definitely contact schools with questionable STAR Teacher nominations by January 5.
NOTE:
- On January 5, the PAGE STAR office will provide the names of the declared STAR Students and STAR Teachers to school counselors and to local sponsors.
- If school counselors have not been contacted by the PAGE STAR office regarding a questionable teacher nomination by January 5, they are to assume their STAR Student and STAR Teacher are officially confirmed.
STAR ANNOUNCEMENT PROCEDURES
ANNOUNCEMENT PROCEDURE
- Beginning January 10, 2022, schools may announce names of STAR Students and Teachers within the schools. Schools should not make public announcements or arrange for publicity. This is the role of the local sponsor (see pages 14).
- Local sponsors make the public announcements and arrange for publicity. Sponsors should communicate with school counselors/STAR contacts, STAR Students and Teachers regarding publicity, specifying their choice of procedure for publicity:
(1) announced by the sponsor alone;
(2) joint announcement by sponsors and schools; or
(3) sponsors ask schools to make public announcements and/or arrange for other publicity.
It is the policy of the PAGE Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program not to release SAT scores.

STAR STUDENT GUIDELINES & QUALIFICATIONS
To be nominated for STAR Student, the nominees must satisfy all of the following requirements:
1) Be a legally enrolled senior in an accredited Georgia public or private high school.
The school must be accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission (GAC), AdvancEd and/or the Georgia Private School Accreditation Council (GAPSAC).
▪ A legally enrolled senior is a student who has registered – and been accepted – as a student in the school and will graduate with the current senior class.
Seniors who are jointly enrolled in high school and college are eligible for STAR honors if all other requirements are met. (College and high school grades are averaged to determine rank.)
Seniors who complete graduation requirements prior to the end of the school year and who will graduate with the current year’s graduating class are eligible for STAR honors if they meet other requirements.
NOTE: 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. How many classes a student takes off campus or how involved the student is with extra-curricular activities at the school is irrelevant in determining the school’s STAR Student.
2) Take the two-part SAT on any national testing date through and including November 6, 2021. Important: November 6, 2021, is the last acceptable SAT test date for the 2022 PAGE STAR program.
3) Score highest on any single test date (scores may not be combined from two or more test dates). Nominees’ SAT scores must be equal to or higher than the SAT national average scores on the Evidence Based Reading and Writing and Math sections. For the 2022 STAR program, these scores are Evidence-Based Reading and Writing 531 and Math 520.
4) At the end of Junior year, (Fall grades are not to be factored into class standing for STAR), based on GPA, must be in the top 10 percent or be among the top 10 students numerically, whichever category provides the largest number of eligible students.
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.
If the student with the highest SAT score does not meet the top 10 criterion, the student with the next highest SAT score who does meet the criterion becomes the nominee.
5) TIES at the high school, system and region levels are permitted. For example, if two or more students in a high school, system or region have identical SAT scores and meet all other requirements, all are STAR Students for that school, system or region.

SAMPLE STAR NEWS RELEASE
for Local Winners
CONTACT: Date
John Smith 770/123-4567
SUSAN JONES OF GAINESVILLE HIGH SCHOOL IS NAMED PAGE STAR STUDENT
Gainesville High School senior Susan Jones has been named the school’s 2022 PAGE STAR Student. John Smith, vice-president of Trust National Bank in Gainesville, the local STAR program sponsor, announced the honor (today or Tuesday or date). Jones selected Irene Johnson, English teacher at Gainesville High School, as her STAR Teacher.
Jones, the daughter of Frank and Esther Jones of Gainesville, earned the recognition for academic achievement and performance on the SAT.
The PAGE Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program is sponsored, administered and promoted by the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) and the PAGE Foundation. Since its inception in 1958 the STAR program has honored nearly 28,500 students and the teachers selected as the most influential to their academic achievement. 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 to qualify for STAR nomination.
STAR begins each year in participating Georgia high schools 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 recognition as the top STAR Student, 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.
“We are very proud of Ms. Jones and Ms. Johnson and the academic excellence they exemplify at Gainesville High,” said Mr. Smith.
PAGE and the PAGE Foundation honor outstanding students and educators and encourage academic excellence through competitive academic programs such as PAGE STAR, the PAGE Academic Bowl for Middle Grades and the PAGE Georgia Academic Decathlon.

SELECTION OF STATE PAGE STAR WINNERS
The State PAGE STAR Student is selected from the STAR Region Winners by a panel of judges.

Each Region STAR Student submits a written comprehensive application to the judges. In addition, a statement from each Region STAR Teacher is provided in support of his/her STAR Student. At this point, the SAT is only one of many factors involved in the selection process, which culminates on the day of the state banquet when the judges interview the Region STAR Students and consider the following areas:
Scholarship
Academic ability
Leadership
Citizenship
Personal objectives
Extracurricular activities
Personal philosophy
Initiative
Opinions

A Runner-up State PAGE STAR Student is also selected.
The state judging competition occurs on the day of the state competition. The decision of the judges is final at the conclusion of the competition.
LOCAL SYSTEM STAR SPONSOR
RESPONSIBILITIES
Each participating high school in Georgia names its school STAR Student who competes for the honor of being named System STAR Student. Each school system has a local system STAR sponsor who organizes and administers the local STAR recognition.
The local system sponsors play the most vital role in the communication process of the STAR program. It is through contact with the sponsors that the schools, students and teachers are provided pertinent information about the STAR recognitions. After the STAR Student and Teacher are declared, you, the local sponsor, are the only contact the school has with the STAR program.
As local system STAR sponsors, you are asked to participate as follows:
- Inform all high school counselors/STAR contacts, principals, headmasters and superintendents in your system of your sponsorship of the STAR program.
Please note: Independent/private school winners compete in the public school system in which the independent/private school is geographically located.
- LOCAL RECOGNITION
■ Set the date for your local recognition (usually held in January and February).
■ Upon receiving the names of the STAR Students and Teachers in the system (the mid week of January), immediately provide the date and time of the recognition to:

(2) each STAR Student and Teacher;
(3) the school superintendent; and
(4) the PAGE STAR office at STAR@pageinc.org
NOTE: High school counselor/STAR contact information will be included in the information sent to the local sponsor, and that school representative will wait to hear from the sponsor before announcing winners in their schools.
■ The names of high school STAR Students and Teachers will have the System Winners clearly marked. STAR certificates will be provided on the STAR portal for sponsors to download and print on card stock paper. Sponsors must complete the certificates with the appropriate names. Contact the PAGE STAR office if you need additional assistance.
■ Arrange and host the system STAR recognition event for all the high school STAR Students and Teachers in the system. At the recognition, present STAR certificates, announce System Winners and provide System Winners with a congratulatory letter.
■ Publicize your local STAR recognition by informing newspapers, radio stations and television stations in your area of STAR activities. Please be sure to recognize PAGE and the PAGE Foundation as the state sponsor and administrator in every contact with the media.
3. REGION RECOGNITION EVENT – Usually held in February and March

■ Organize and conduct a Region PAGE STAR Recognition Event luncheon or banquet, usually held in March, to honor all of the System STAR Students and Teachers in the STAR region.

■ Work with the PAGE communications department to promote the PAGE STAR program and create publicity within the PAGE STAR region.
