Day 1: Morning Classes

Illustrating a logical fallacy in Science I (each student was given puzzle pieces and told to become an expert on them, here they are putting them all together, when the goal of the exercise was actually to remember which four pieces you had) and Aiden Manuel working on his self portrait for his Letter of Introduction in English Composition.

Afternoon Electives: Which to Choose?

Each and every student have their own special set of talents and abilities. Here at the Governor’s Program we offer 16 unique electives in an array of fields such as music, art, theatre, print media, and even film!

2015 Final Week Schedule

The Program is drawing to a close for yet another summer but we always end with a smile and a song or two. Our academic classes are ending this week and the next, final week, is devoted to rehearsals and performances. Below is a schedule of the final week’s performances – please remember that all of the performances are free and open to the public. Students must stay until the end of the Chorus concert on Saturday but they may go to any of the performances with their parents that they care to. They will have the opportunity to attend the musical and drama performances on Wednesday and Thursday as well.

Note: the schedule we sent home at the 4th of July Break was a little wrong – the days and times are all correct but the actual dates were off by one day. We apologize for any confusion that may have caused.



GPGC gave me a sense of community,


a place where being smart was acceptable, where bullying was not the norm, and where creativity was welcomed.
