About GHP

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 the academic, cultural, and social enrichment necessary to become the next generation of global critical thinkers, innovators, and leaders.

GHP is held 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. The program provides meals and rooms. 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.

Kell High School sophomores and juniors in good academic standing and interested in interviewing for GHP should contact Julie Denison for further details.
