Joseph Dobbs is Mitchell County High School's STAR (Student Teacher Achievement Recognition) Student and is Mitchell County System's STAR Student. Joseph is the son of Latricia and Donald Dobbs. Joseph has been accepted to Toccoa Falss College in North Georgia and plans to obtain a degree in cross cultural studies. When asked about being selected as STAR student, Joseph said, "I am happy to have been chosen as STAR student. I feel like something I've done academically stands out, draws attention, and means a amall something among the rest of my accomplishments. I chose Ms. Paula Parsons as STAR teacher because I believe that she had the most influence over my high scores on the SAT, as well as having been a much needed guide the two years I had her as a literature teacher. She encouraged me to develop my artistic talents, both visual and written; the latter of which i'm sure influenced my scores in the writing section of the test. She constantly taught and retaught us to comprehend words in pieces, so that when we encountered new words, words previously unknown to us, we would not be completely at a loss to comprehend them. This was a tactic I used on the SAT.
