Denver Alexandra Burton, a senior at Eagle's Landing Christian Academy (ELCA), said she was surprised, and happy, to receive a county-wide distinction for her academic accomplishments.
"My parents have always been really supportive, and I've had good teachers," said Burton, winner of the 2010-11 Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program for Henry County. "I've gone to ELCA my whole life, and they've just really supported me, and taught me a lot," she said, after Henry County Schools Superintendent Ethan Hildreth presented her with the award.
