“Rome High School is incredibly proud of these 15 students and the outstanding work that earned them nominations for the Governor’s Honors Program. Their dedication, talent, and character truly stand out, and we wish them the very best as they advance in the GHP process,” Rome High Principal Parke Wilkinson says.

The Georgia Governor’s Honors Program (GHP) is a residential summer program for skilled, knowledgeable, and talented high school sophomores and juniors. GHP offers instruction that is significantly different from the typical high school classroom and is designed to provide students with academic, cultural, and social enrichment necessary to become the next generation of global critical thinkers, innovators, and leaders.

GHP is held in mid-summer as a residential educational experience on a college or university campus. Students attend classes in the mornings and afternoons in specific areas of study, and they participate in a wide variety of social and instructional opportunities every evening.
