Over the past year, Myrka Rodriguez — a 15-year-old 10th-grader at Johnson High School — has gained a deeper understanding of what it’s like to be a migrant student in Hall County. Rodriguez is among a group of honor students at Johnson High who took on the challenge from two of their teachers to brainstorm an outreach program that would let migrant students know they are important.
