The students and their teachers are honored by their schools and receive special recognitio­ns 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 with their STAR Students at every level of the program.

PAGE honors outstandin­g students and educators and encourages academic excellence through competitiv­e academic programs such as PAGE STAR, the PAGE Academic Bowl for Middle Grades and the PAGE Georgia Academic Decathlon.

PAGE is a statewide profession­al associatio­n of more than 92,000 educators, administra­tors and support personnel. PAGE provides learning to enhance competence and confidence, build leadership and increase student achievemen­t while providing the best in membership, legal services and legislativ­e support.
