 Governor's Honors Program

The Governor's Honors Program is a residential summer program for gifted and talented high school students who will be rising juniors and seniors during the program.  The program offers instruction that is significantly different from the typical high school classroom and is designed to provide students with academic, cultural, and social enrichment necessary to become the next generation of global critical thinkers, innovators, and leaders. 

GHP is held in mid-summer (mid-June to mid-July) as a premier residential educational expereince at Berry College in Rome, GA.  Students attend classes in the mornings and afternoons in specific areas of study, and they participate in a wide variety of instructional, leadership, and social opportunities every evening.  (GOSA, 2018)

FCS students interested in being nominated for a particular area of study should contact their school's GHP Coordinator.  

Home school students interested in the GHP program should contact the FCS GHP Coordinator, Catherine Keyser, for more details on the application process.  The GHP Nomination Process begins in September of the 2020-21 School Year.  The deadline for home school student information is November 1, 2021

Congratulations to our Finalists who were chosen to attend GHP this summer at Berry College!
