This resolution commends Aaliyah Phillips, who was crowned Miss Cobb County 2025 at the 66th annual Miss Cobb County Scholarship Competition, recognizing her significant achievements and potential. A 2024 magna cum laude graduate of Columbus State University with a Bachelor of Science in elementary education, Phillips has demonstrated exceptional leadership through roles such as a Student Government Association senator, communications intern for Senator Jon Ossoff, and a current kindergarten teacher. She was awarded a $10,000 scholarship and plans to pursue a Doctor of Education with the ultimate goal of becoming the U.S. Secretary of Education. The resolution highlights her extensive community service, including founding SPREAD: Spreading Literacy Through Reading, an initiative that partners with various organizations to promote literacy equality. By winning the Miss Cobb County title, she is also positioned to compete for Miss Georgia in June 2025, with the potential to represent the state in the Miss America Competition. The resolution formally congratulates Phillips, commends her service to students, and wishes her success in future competitions, with the House of Representatives' Clerk directed to provide her with an official copy of the resolution.
