Additionally, by elevating the achievement of the South Greene High School yearbook staff, the resolution aims to inspire future students to strive for similar excellence in school-related projects.

Summary

SJR0980 is a Senate Joint Resolution introduced by Senator Southerland, aimed at honoring and commending the South Greene High School yearbook staff for their recent accolades at the Tennessee High School Press Association awards ceremony. This resolution recognizes their excellence in producing the 2025 yearbook titled 'Ignite', which was named an All-Tennessee Yearbook, the highest rating awarded by the THSPA. The yearbook's recognition underscores the quality of writing, photography, design, and visual storytelling that the staff demonstrated throughout the academic year.

Contention
