Twelve Glasgow High School students have been selected to participate in various five-week summer residential programs “designed to enhance Kentucky’s next generation of civic and economic leaders.”
Reevaluated every three years, this year’s host campuses are Centre College in Danville, Morehead State University and Murray State University.
The students chosen are:
- Jamesanna Soto – GSE (accepted)
- Trace Brooking – GSE (waitlist)
- Raegan Blair – GSA (accepted)
- Meredith Evans – GSA (accepted)
- C.C. Mahung – GSP (accepted)
- Anne Pike – GSP (accepted)
- Kasan Peters – GSP (accepted)
- Caroline Bishop – GSP (accepted)
- Diya Nair – GSP (accepted)
- Cassandra Gracia – GSP (alternate)
- Daniya Wooten – GSP (alternate)
- JP Pitcock – GSP (alternate)
These students join the 1,000 students that are chosen to attend each year out of the approximate 2,000 applications submitted.
The Governor’s Program is free of charge for accepted students, courtesy of the governor’s office, the legislature and private enterprise, and began in 1983 “as a result of Kentucky leaders’ concern that the state’s ‘best and brightest’ were leaving the Commonwealth to pursue educational and career opportunities elsewhere,” the program’s website stated.
High school students must be nominated by their schools “and then compete on a state-wide level.”
