  • Indirectly: the school community and supporters who receive formal congressional recognition of the team’s accomplishment.

Legal and fiscal impact

Note on document inconsistency

Some version metadata includes an unrelated short title — “Successful Entrepreneurship for Reservists and Veterans Act (SERV Act)” — which appears to be stray or erroneous text. The operative text and purpose of H.R. 828 are the commendation of the Alpharetta High School relay team as summarized above.
