Governor’s School
Sophomores and Juniors, now is the time to apply for Governor's School. This four-week program will be held during the summer. It's an amazing opportunity to learn more about your areas of interest, to meet students with a similar interest, and to get a feel for life on campus. It will look great on your resume, but it's also something that you'll remember for the rest of your life. And the best part is that most of the Governor's Schools are free! You can find the application HERE
See Mr. Truax for more information. The deadlines begin in November, so don't miss your opportunity!
