New Hanover County High School Students
Selected to Attend Governor's School

Sixteen New Hanover County high school students have been selected to attend the Governor's School of North Carolina. The Governor's School is the oldest statewide summer residential program for academically or intellectually gifted high school students in the nation, integrating academic disciplines, the arts and unique courses. The six-week program, which is open to rising seniors only, with exceptions made for rising juniors in selected performing/visual arts areas, is located on two campuses of 400 students each: Governor's School West at Salem College in Winston-Salem and Governor's School East at Meredith College in Raleigh. The curriculum focuses on the exploration of the most recent ideas and concepts in each discipline, and does not involve credit, tests, or grades. The program is entirely free of charge to all students, funded by the General Assembly of North Carolina.
