CHS student named a Georgia Scholar

Matthew Morgan, Chestatee High School (CHS), is one of 145 graduating seniors in the state named 2025 Georgia Scholars. Morgan is the only Gainesville-Hall County student on the list.

The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) made the announcement Tuesday.

Each year, GaDOE identifies and honors high school seniors who have “achieved excellence in school and community life through the Georgia Scholar program.” Each honoree receives a seal for their diploma along with a graduation cord to recognize their achievement.

Students from Dawson, Forsyth and Habersham counties are also on the list.
