Georgia Governor’s Honors Program is a sixweek summer instructional program designed to provide intellectually gifted and artistically talented high school students challenging and enriching educational opportunities not usually available during the regular school year. Activities are designed to provide each participant with opportunities to acquire the skills, knowledge and attitudes to become independent, lifelong learners.

The two system nominees will be competing with others from across Georgia for the opportunity to attend the 2007 Governor’s Honors Program, which will be held next summer at Valdosta State University.
