  • GSMHS Application Guide
    2020 Summer Residential Governor's Schools (SRGS) General Information for Students and Parents Welcome to the 2020 Summer Residential Governor's Schools application process. Any student who considers himself/herself eligible may complete an application. School divisions select the students they nominate for the state level application process. Please review the information carefully and speak with your school counselor or gifted education coordinator to ensure that you meet all division and state deadlines. Most of the deadlines established by the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) are for school division submissions to the VDOE. School divisions typically set their deadlines several weeks or months prior to the VDOE deadline. All parts of the application are available at the Virginia Department of Education’s Website. The application process is a joint effort involving the student, his/her parent or legal guardian, the local school, the school division or the private school region, and the VDOE. This document contains general program information about the Summer Residential Governor's Schools. The application contains sections that the student must complete, and sections to be completed by teachers and the school counselor. Teachers and school counselors may access the forms they need from the same Web site noted above. This year each SRGS program has its own application. Please be sure you are completing the appropriate application form. Students applying to the Visual and Performing Arts program must be selected by their school division or private school to attend the statewide adjudication process in January. Each application has information sheets that you should give to the two teachers/adults whom you are asking to provide recommendations and to the guidance office for other data.
