The Georgia Governor’s Honors Program, commonly known as GHP, is a residential summer program for skilled, knowledgeable, and talented high school sophomores and juniors. GHP offers instruction that is significantly different from the typical high school classroom and is designed to provide students with the academic, cultural, and social enrichment necessary to become the next generation of global critical thinkers, innovators, and leaders.
More than 4,400 Georgia students were nominated to the state-wide competition with roughly 1,500 of those being selected as semifinalists.
