The Coweta County School System has nominated 46
students to state-level interviews for the Georgia Governor’s
Honors Program.
They join more than 2,800 nominated students from across the
state who will be interviewed and auditioned over three weekends
in January and February. From those nominees, 690 finalists will
be chosen to participate in the 2012 program. Since the program
is fully funded by the Georgia General Assembly, there is no
charge for students to attend.
The Governor’s Honors Program, known as GHP, is a residential
summer program for gifted and talented high school juniors and
seniors. A function of the Georgia Department of Education, the
program takes place each summer on the campus of Valdosta State
University. The 2012 program will be the 49th summer, making it
the longest continually running program of its kind in the
nation.
During the four weeks of the program, students spend the
mornings in their major area of nomination, exploring topics not
usually found in the regular high school classroom. During the
afternoons, students choose one of the other areas in which to
study. The curriculum in all the areas is challenging and
engaging. Evenings are filled with seminars, activities,
concerts, and performances.
“GHP is such a competitive program that even being nominated is
an accomplishment,’ said Georgia Governor’s Honors Program
Director Dale Lyles. “I congratulate the students of Coweta
County School System and look forward to meeting them and their
parents at the interviews.” He added that many if not most of
GHP’s past participants regard it as one of the most
life-changing events in their lives.
