Nathan Williams ‘20 has been named as Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School’s STAR Student for the class of 2020. Williams chose Allegra Boggess, Upper School Chorus and Orchestra Director, as his STAR teacher.
The Student-Teacher Achievement Recognition Program, organized by the Professional Association of Georgia Educators, honors the state’s top-achieving seniors and their inspirational teachers. To secure the STAR nomination, high school seniors must have the highest score of the SAT taken and be in the top-10 percent or top 10 students of their class based on GPA.
“Nathan is an exceptional student, performer, and leader,” said Head of School Jeff Miles. “We are all so proud of him for earning Rabun Gap’s STAR student honor.”
“It’s a big deal being good at school, especially if schools have anything to say about it, and I am honored to be recognized as being great at school,” said Williams. “It’s a real motivational and inspiring thing to be appreciated for trying your best, and that’s sort of what this award is. Thank you. It means a lot in a way I can’t express.”
