Please congratulate the students below for their selection into the 2014 Georgia Governor's Honors Program (GHP). GHP is a residential summer program for gifted and talented high school juniors and seniors that take place on the campus of Valdosta State University. GHP was designed to provide intellectually gifted and artistically talented high school students challenging and enriching educational opportunities. Activities provide each participant with opportunities to acquire the skills, knowledge, and attitudes to become independent, life-long learners. More than 2800 students from across the state interviewed/auditioned over three weekends in January and February to compete for a spot in the 2014 program. During the program, students spend the morning in their major area of nomination, exploring topics not usually found in the regular high school classroom. During the afternoons, students choose a minor area in which to study. The curriculum in all the areas is challenging and engaging. Evenings are filled with seminars, activities, concerts, and performances. 2014 GHP Finalists Keegan Hassan: Communicative Arts Lucia Lombardo: Communicative Arts Molly Looman: Communicative Arts Nathaniel Pate: Mathematics Henry Persons: Mathematics Kakinuma Uzuki: Music Margaret Stockdale: Social Studies Jefferson Martin: Technology Mia Panarites: Theatre Design Below are the students who have been accepted for The Renaissance; Grady's on-site dual enrollment program spring semester 2014.

They should be commended for their excellent work. 2013 Grady High School Academic Fair: Congratulate these students on their success at the Math, Science, and
