PCHS Announce 2016 Governor’s Scholar Nominees
Pendleton County High School announces that six juniors have been selected as our nominees to the 2016 Kentucky Governor’s Scholar Program (GSP). This year’s nominees are: R. Ammerman, A. Booth, H. Hart, A. Hicks, S. Longworth, and M. Sydnor. These
students will now be in competition with other students from across the commonwealth for one of the approximately 1,000 places in the 2016 summer program.
The Governor’s Scholars Program is a stimulating, five-week, residential summer program for outstanding Kentucky students completing their junior year in high school. Established
in 1983, the popular program provides academic and personal growth in a challenging, non-traditional experience that balances a strong liberal arts program with a full co-curricular and residential life.
The Governor’s Scholar Program competition is open to all juniors. It is highly competitive
in nature and involves a lengthy application process. The students are selected based on multiple criteria that include academic record, ACT or PSAT test scores, personal essay, student resume that includes activities as well as demonstrated leadership and service.
