The Governor’s Honor Program is a summer enrichment program for rising juniors and seniors. Teachers at Griffin High School and Spalding High School nominated outstanding students in the areas of mathematics, science, communicative arts, social science, visual arts, music, and theatre. Students nominated must have demonstrated a high aptitude and interest in the area of nomination. Those students selected as finalists at the state interview level will participate in a four-week summer instructional program designed to provide intellectually gifted and artistically talented high school students challenging and enriching educational opportunities not usually available during the school year.
State level interviews will be held in January and February. Student notification of state selection of finalists will be sent the week of March28, 2011.
