The Toccoa-Stephens County Chamber of Commerce announced this year’s STAR student is Annabelle Zhuno. Zhuno said it is an honor to receive the STAR student award. “It feels really good,” said Zhuno. “Being STAR student was a goal I had so it is good to accomplish that.” To obtain the STAR nomination, high school seniors must have the highest score on a single test date on the three-part SAT and be in the top 10 percent or top 10 students of their class based on grade point average. Zhuno selected her 11th grade SAT preparation class teacher, Carolyn Frady, as her STAR teacher. “She was very much an encouragement, every day helping me with problems and getting me ready for the SAT and with future plans. She was just very encouraging,” said Zhuno. Meanwhile, Frady said that she could not believe Zhuno selected her as the STAR teacher. “(Zhuno is) one of the best I have had in 36 years,” said Frady. “Work ethic beyond all, super-motivated, goal-driven, fantastic.” As for her future plans, Zhuno said she would like to study biology at Emory University.
