State Rep. Brooks Coleman, R-Duluth, was recognized recently for his efforts to help Georgians receive their high school diploma. Coleman sponsored House Bill 91, which was signed into law March 30 and retroactively eliminates all graduation tests for students who took those tests from the early 1980s to the present. To date, more than 17,000 Georgians have become high school graduates as a result of the bill, according to a release from the state.
