Andrew Fu, a high school senior, has been named 2016 PAGE STAR Student for Alpharetta High
School. The announcement was made today by Julie Goldberg, President of the Midtown Atlanta
Rotary Club, local sponsor of the Fulton County STAR program. Fu, of Alpharetta, selected Anthony Murdock, AP Physics teacher at Alpharetta High School, as his STAR teacher. "We are very proud of Mr. Fu and Mr. Murdock and the academic excellence they exemplify at Alpharetta High School. We are thrilled to recognize them for their accomplishments." said Mrs. Goldberg.
The PAGE Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program, now in its 58th year, is
sponsored, administered and promoted by the Professional Association of Georgia Educations (PAGE) Foundation. Since its inception, the STAR program has honored nearly 25,500 students and
the teachers they have selected as having had the most influence on their academic achievement.
To obtain the 2016 STAR nomination, high school seniors must have the highest score on a single
test date on the three-part SAT and be in the top 10 percent or top 10 students of their class based on grade point average.
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 165 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 compete for the honor of being named State PAGE STAR Student.
STAR Teachers continue on with their STAR Students at every level of the program.
