HARTWELL, Ga. — Hart County High School seniors Elijah Lloyd and Delana Rice have been named the Hart County Charter System’s 2026 PAGE STAR Students.

The Rotary Club of Hartwell, the local STAR program sponsor, announced the honor Feb. 5 during its regular meeting.

Lloyd selected Luke Christopher, a math teacher at Hart County High School, as his STAR Teacher. Rice chose Alan Tolbert, a music teacher at the school, as her STAR Teacher.

The students earned the recognition for academic achievement and performance on the SAT. Both plan to attend the Georgia Institute of Technology after graduation.

The PAGE Student Teacher Achievement Recognition program honors high school seniors with the highest SAT score on a single test date who are also in the top 10 percent or top 10 students of their class by grade-point average. The program also recognizes the teachers selected by those students as most influential to their academic success.

“Elijah and Delana represent the very best of Hart County Schools—hardworking, driven and committed to excellence,” Superintendent Jennifer Carter said. “Their academic achievements, along with honoring the teachers who have guided and inspired them, highlight the strong relationships and high expectations that define our schools.”
