Starr’s Mill is sending the most students in the county, including 11 sophomores and ten juniors. Eleven students will represent McIntosh along with ten from Fayette County. Whitewater is sending six students and Sandy Creek is sending two students.

The Governor’s Honor Program is held over the summer for talented students to get immersed in their field of interest. The selected students will participate in classes and social experiences at Berry College.
It’s certainly a great honor for any of [the students] to get to [the state level interviews], but it’s even cooler that so many of them have made it through,” Principal Allen Leonard said.
These students will now complete a series of interviews at the state level, which will be held on Feb. 27 at Berry College.
If they become a finalist after this set of interviews, they will proceed to be one of the few selected students to attend the summer program.
