Governor’s School was an amazing opportunity to interact with students from across the state.
It gave me confidence that I could effectively interact with people from all walks of life, with different social and economic advantages.
It gave me the confidence I needed when I interviewed for scholarships and when I left home to attend a large university.—Governor’s School alumnus
I believe the first way that [our children] begin to determine who they are is by determing who and what they are not.
Governor’s School begins to expose our children to other ideas, other opinions, other cultures, other experiences.
If you value learning, this is an amazing and wondrous thing.—Rebekah Harden

As a faculty member, Governor’s School provided me an opportunity to give back to the program that affected me so profoundly…to share my experience and knowledge with an impressive student population.
Many of my students are currently in graduate schools throughout the country…several of them graduated from the country’s top universities and are well on their way to being leaders in their own communities.—Shawn Pavey

Governor’s School absolutely changed my life.
I can’t imagine the course of my life and career without having been exposed to modern music, playing in an orchestra.
A truly visionary program…unmatched by any other.—John Morrison
