Marcus Cross of South Cobb High in Mableton, Dakota Moore of Atlanta's Henry W. Grady High, Caitlin Danahy of Cass High in Cartersville, Sarah Lesser of George Walton Academy in Social Circle and Michael Nedvin of Rome High were picked to attend the event at George Mason University in Virginia in early July based on their academic performance and interest in journalism.
