43 Hall students named district nominees for GHP

Forty-three sophomores and juniors from Hall County Schools have been selected to represent
the school system as district nominees for the Georgia Governor’s Honors Program (GHP), a residential summer program for gifted and talented high school juniors and seniors. 

GHP 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,” according to the school system. It is held in mid-summer (mid-June to mid-July) as a “residential educational experience” on a college or university campus.

GHP will notify students on February 7 if they move on to the semifinalist/interview phase of the GHP application process.
