Craven County Schools is hosting a 
Governor's School Informational Webinar!

Date: Thursday, September 30th 
Time: 6:00pm.  
Guest Speaker: Mr. Tom Winton, Coordinator, North Carolina Governor's School

The North Carolina Governor's School is a 5½-week summer residential program for gifted and talented high school students, integrating academic disciplines, the arts, and unique courses on each of two campuses. The curriculum focuses on the exploration of the most recent ideas and concepts in each discipline, and does not involve credit, tests, or grades.

The North Carolina Governor's School is the nation’s oldest statewide summer residential program for gifted high school students. The program, which is open to rising seniors only, with exceptions made for rising juniors in selected performing/visual arts areas, is located on two campuses of up to 335 students each: Governor's School West at High Point University in High Point, and Governor's School East at Meredith College in Raleigh. The program is administered by the Public Schools of North Carolina, the State Board of Education, and the Department of Public Instruction through the Exceptional Children Division. A Board of Governors, appointed by the State Board of Education, acts as an advisory body. Governor's School offers amazing educational opportunities to selected students in eleven different academics and arts disciplines. 

After the Governor's School Informational Webinar, each high school will host a separate school-based session to provide you with instructions on specific school due dates, counselor contact information, etc. Each high school will share a Zoom link with students from their school for those sessions.
