The Governor's Program for Gifted Children

GPGC 2024 | JUNE 9 – JULY 20

Every summer, the GPGC produces a major musical as well as a drama. This is done to provide students with the opportunity to learn about the performing arts and to awaken possible latent talents in students. The Musical and Drama classes are perennially some of the most popular afternoon classes, with most students participating either on stage or in backstage roles providing the technical aspects of theatrical productions.

One of the best parts of the program


for me was, for once, it allowed me to be one of the "normal" kids, instead of the "brainiac" nerd. I cherish that gift.
