Kentucky Governor's Scholars

 

The Kentucky Governor's Scholars Program is a summer residential program for outstanding high school students in Kentucky who are rising seniors. The Program originated in 1983 as a result of Kentucky leaders' concern that the state's "best and brightest" were leaving the Commonwealth to pursue educational and career opportunities elsewhere without fully understanding the potential of their talents at home. Students who are selected attend the Program without charge. In the spirit of partnership, the Office of the Governor, the Kentucky State Legislature, and private enterprise come together to provide the financial support for the Program.

 

The Program's mission is to enhance Kentucky's next generation of civic and economic leaders. Congratulations to the following 22 students who were selected as 2012 Governor's Scholars.

Gatton Academy of
Mathematics and Science
 
 
The Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science at Western Kentucky University is a residential program for bright, highly motivated Kentucky high school students who have demonstrated interest in pursuing advanced careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

It was recently named the nation's top high school by Newsweek magazine.  It was also named a finalist in Intel Corp.'s 2012 Schools of Distinction Awards in the high school category for excellence in science; and it has been named to The Washington Post's list of top-performing schools with elite students every year since 2009.

The Gatton Academy also seeks to provide its students with the companionship of peers; to encourage students to develop the creativity, curiosity, reasoning ability, and self-discipline that lead to independent thought and action; and to aid students in developing integrity that will enable them to benefit society.

The goal is to enable Kentucky's exceptional young scientists and mathematicians to learn in an environment which offers advanced educational opportunities, preparing them for leadership roles in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  Congratulations to Benjamin Koehler, Logan Mitchell and Logan VanWay who have been selected to attend the Gatton Academy!
