Four Caldwell County High School students have been selected to attend the Governor’s Scholar Program this summer.
Public Relations Coordinator Lizzie Shelton with the school district announced Friday afternoon that the students selected are Ellie Ramey, Carter Whittington, Lane Morris, and Marissa Smith.
GSP originated in 1983 as a result of Kentucky leaders’ concerns that the state’s “best and brightest” were leaving the Commonwealth to pursue educational and career opportunities elsewhere without fully understanding the potential of their talents at home.
The students begin this application process in the fall of their junior year and only recently learned of their acceptance into the programs. The program is provided free of charge to students through partnerships across the state, the Kentucky Legislature, and the Office of the Governor.
