The Georgia Department of Education’s Georgia Scholars program honors high school seniors who achieved excellence in school and community life, and this year, three Atlanta Public Schools students made the list.
Shalin Bhatia, Diana Jachman and Vadym Nahornyi from Midtown High School were recognized along with 177 other graduating seniors across the state.
“We are extremely proud of our students for this outstanding recognition! Being honored for their academic accomplishments and community engagement not only speaks to who they are as students but also who they are as people. It underscores that we are not only educating scholars but graduating good citizens,” APS interim superintendent Dr. Danielle Battle said.

Georgia Scholars carried exemplary course loads during their four years of high school, performed excellently in all courses, successfully participated in interscholastic events within their schools and communities, and assumed leadership roles in extracurricular activities sponsored by their schools.
“These 177 Georgia students have made our state proud through their stellar efforts in the classroom and in their communities,” State School Superintendent Richard Woods said. “The Georgia Scholar designation is a recognition of their leadership and diligence. I wish them great success as they continue into their futures and know they will continue to contribute to their communities and to our state.”
The Georgia Scholar program is coordinated by GaDOE in partnership with local districts and schools.
