Nathan Williams has been named as Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School’s STAR Student for the class of 2020. STAR stands for the Student-Teacher Achievement Recognition program.

The program, organized by the Professional Association of Georgia Educators, honors the state’s top-achieving seniors and their inspirational teachers. Williams chose Allegra Boggess, Upper School Chorus and Orchestra Director, as his STAR teacher.

Williams sings in the Upper School choir, the Gap 8 Choir, the Barbershop Quartet, and plays in the orchestra he has also performed in the several of the school’s theatrical productions.

“It’s a big deal being good at school, especially if schools have anything to say about it, and I am honored to be recognized as being great at school,” said Williams. “It’s a real motivational and inspiring thing to be appreciated for trying your best, and that’s sort of what this award is. Thank you. It means a lot in a way I can’t express.”

Rabun Gap-Nachoochee School is a boarding and day school located in the Apalachian mountains in Georgia USA.

    Congrats Young Bruh and continued success!!! Enjoy you academic pursuits at this fine, picturesque, reputable, and tranquil learning institution which is located a mere hour and a half from me. I had no idea.

    The adventurous, globetrotting mindset of my fellow Dominicans never seizes to amaze me. We maybe relatively small in population; however, you can be sure to find one of us in every nook and cranny of YAH’s earth, even in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains.

    Here is a link to the school’s website where a nice video of the school and beautiful surrounding landscape can be viewed.
