Some of the region’s finest and highest-achieving students are headed to bright futures at some of the country’s top colleges. These students were honored Tuesday at the annual Region 2 Student Teacher Achievement Recognition banquet sponsored by the Professional Association of Georgia Educators at the University of North Georgia in Dahlonega. At the banquet, Andrew Haygood from Pickens High School and Rachel Irene Todd from Union County High School were named the two regional STAR students.
