Seven Hall County students, three from Gainesville High School, one from Lakeview Academy and a homeschooled student have been selected for the annual Governor’s Honors program this summer. The residential program for talented rising juniors and seniors will be held at Valdosta State University from mid-June to mid-July. It offers significantly different instruction from the typical high school classroom, according to the Governor's Office of Student Achievement website, which is "designed to provide students with academic, cultural and social enrichment necessary to become the next generation of global critical thinkers, innovators and leaders."
