Students selected to participate in Governor's Honors ProgramThe annual Governor's Honors Program has chosen 21 Fayette County students for participation this summer. Administered by the Georgia Department of Education, Governor's Honors, or GHP, is a six-week summer instructional program designed to provide intellectually gifted and artistically talented high school students challenging and enriching educational opportunities not usually available during the regular school year.
