Governor’s Honors Program – 2023 HCSD Nominees
Sixty-two 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. Last year, GHP had 628 student finalists attending a fully residential in-person program, and 10 of these were from Hall County Schools.
Managed by the Governor’s Office for Student Achievement, the plan for this summer is to hold GHP at Georgia Southern University. The 2023 program will be the 60th summer, making it the longest continually running program of its kind in the nation. GHP will notify students in on February 10, 2023, if they move on to the semifinalist/interview phase of the GHP application process.
