On February 3, the Meriwether County Rotary Club sponsored the annual Meriwether County Student–Teacher Achievement Recognition Program, held at Manchester High School. This meaningful program honors outstanding high school students alongside the teachers who have played a significant role in their academic success, leadership development, and personal growth.
