In September, he plans to enter his giant mega cabbage in the state competition.

In 2010 another Climax student, Julian Martin, entered his mega cabbage in the state competition and was the State of Georgia winner receiving a $1,000 scholarship. Martin was honored recently for this win.

Congratulations to our Climax outstanding students Martin and now Jeremiah Rogers for reaching for those high goals.
