Eight Upper School students were selected to attend this year’s session of the Governor’s School of North Carolina. Founded over fifty years ago, it is the oldest statewide summer residential program for academically or intellectually gifted high school students in the nation. It is a five and one-half week summer residential program for intellectually gifted high school students, integrating academic disciplines, the arts, and unique courses on each of two campuses. The curriculum focuses on the exploration of the most recent ideas and concepts in each discipline, and does not involve credit, tests, or grades.
