Governor’s Honors Program 2025 HCSD Nominees
Hall County Schools is proud to announce that 43 sophomores and juniors have been selected to represent Hall County Schools as district nominees for the Georgia Governor’s Honors Program. The Governor’s Honors Program, known as GHP, is a residential summer program for gifted and talented high school juniors and seniors who have a passion for one of the nomination areas.
The Georgia Governor’s Honors Program (GHP) is a residential summer program for skilled, knowledgeable, and talented high school sophomores and juniors. 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. GHP is held in mid-summer (mid-June to mid-July) as a residential educational experience on a college or university campus. Students attend classes in the mornings and afternoons in specific areas of study, and they participate in a wide variety of social and instructional opportunities every evening. Meals and rooms are provided by the program. The only required and expected costs to the students are: travel expenses to and from the semifinalist event and host campus; a few basic supplies for classes and dorm rooms; and spending money as desired during the program (https://gosa.georgia.gov/governors-honors-program).
Managed by the Governor’s Office for Student Achievement, the plan for this summer is to hold GHP at Georgia Southern University. The 2025 program will be the 62nd summer, making it the longest continually running program of its kind in the nation. GHP will notify students on February 7, 2025, if they move on to the semifinalist/interview phase of the GHP application process.
