“We are so proud of these students and know they will represent us well at the Arkansas Governor’s School,” said superintendent Dr. Charles McNulty. “Our schools cannot wait to see what valuable information they learn and bring back and how they will apply it the rest of their lives.”
The four-week summer program is a unique experience for rising Arkansas seniors. The students, selected by a committee named by the State Department of Education, live on the campus of Arkansas Tech University and attend classes in three areas of curriculum.
About two-thirds of class time is devoted to the student’s selected discipline, which includes choral music, drama, English/language arts, instrumental music, mathematics, natural science, social science, and visual art. Students also work in general conceptual development and personal and social development.
