Impact

The passing of HJR0342 indicates a legislative commitment to recognizing and honoring educational achievements of students within the state. The resolution aims to encourage other students to strive for academic excellence by showcasing Avery's accomplishments as a model for peers. This recognition from the General Assembly serves as a motivational factor for students to engage actively in both academic and community activities.

Summary

HJR0342 is a resolution that honors Avery Boulton, the Salutatorian of the 2023 graduating class at Culleoka Unit School. The resolution highlights Avery's academic excellence, which is reflected in her impressive grade point average and her active participation in extracurricular activities such as the National Beta Club, FFA, and volleyball. It serves not only to recognize Avery's hard work but also to celebrate her contributions to her community, including her volunteer work at a local animal shelter.
