Governor's School

Ingrid's principal told Ingrid she is invited to attend Governor's School this summer.   The School used to be at Hendrix but starting this year Arkansas Tech will be hosting it.  This will be the 40th Governor's School.  Here is a snip-it from the Tech website.  Bill Clinton is the founder of this academic endeavor.

The Arkansas Governor’s School is a four-week summer residential program for gifted and talented students who are upcoming high school seniors and residents of the state of Arkansas. State funds provide tuition, room, board, and instructional materials for each student who attends the four-week program on the site of a residential college campus, leased by the State. The Arkansas Governor’s School is a non-credit program that seeks to create a unique experience for a select group of Arkansas’ best students—the potential leaders of the 21st century. Both inside and outside the classrooms, AGS provides highly motivated, creative students with an intellectual atmosphere impossible to sustain in ordinary academic settings. The excitement of intellectual and artistic pursuits and the expectation of significant conceptual gains permeate all aspects of the participants’ lives for the full four weeks.
