Memorials, Academic Achievement - Jack Magee, Valedictorian, Christian Academy of Knoxville -

SJR 465 is a symbolic resolution honoring Jack Magee, the 2025 Valedictorian of Christian Academy of Knoxville, for his academic achievements including a 4.46 GPA and recognition as a National Merit Finalist.
