Students must

be rising juniors or seniors to be eligible. Local nominees are sent to

a statewide screening where interviews and auditions, where pertinent,

are conducted to select the finalists.

"Governor's

Honors is a major program and is very competitive. It is truly an honor

for those students who are selected as finalists," says Cathy Geis,

social studies and physical education coordinator for Fayette County schools.

The program

is conducted every year on the campus of Valdosta State University in

Valdosta, Ga. This year's program will take place June 17-July 28.
