LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

This submission comes from Tanesha, who nominated Montaveus, of Lawrenceville.

He successfully completed three years of JROTC in high school. He played one year of varsity football. His coach described him as "fierce" and said he never backs down and always wants to go against people bigger than him.
