When teachers talk about Dawson County High School senior Sarah Tinsley there is a particular similarity in their descriptions, all of them use words that seem to say the exact same thing: She never quits. Tinsley was recently named STAR (Student Teacher Achievement Recognition) student of the year at Dawson County High and has chosen Spanish teacher Hilda Jackson as the STAR Teacher of the Year. The program is an initiative of the Professional Association of Georgia Educators Foundation and recognizes students annually for having the highest score on a single test date for the three-part SAT taken through November of their senior year.
