The Governor’s Honors Program, known as GHP, is a residential summer program for gifted and talented high school juniors and seniors.  A function of the Georgia Department of Education, it takes place on the campus of Valdosta State University (VSU).More than 2900 students from across the state were interviewed and auditioned over three weekends in January and February, and from those nominees 690 finalists were chosen to participate in the 2012 program. Mr. Dale Lyles, director, said, “GHP is such a competitive program that even being nominated is an accomplishment.  I congratulate the students of Lee County High School and look forward to meeting them and their parents in June.”  He added that many if not most of GHP’s past participants regard it as one of the most life-changing events in their lives.

Graduation is drawing closer. We are very proud of our students and want to make sure their graduation experience is fantastic. There are several guidelines that seniors must adhere to, however, to ensure that everything goes smoothly and they are allowed to participate in graduation. Students must be present and on time to graduation practice on May 24th and 25th and must arrive on time the morning of graduation. They also must have all fees paid and books, equipment, and supplies returned before they can come to practice. The Senior Information document explains all of these guidelines in more detail. Please check the fees tab on Parent Portal frequently to see if any fees are outstanding.

Dual enrollment/dual credit programs provide opportunities for Lee County High School students to take college-level courses and earn concurrent credit toward a high school diploma and a college degree while still in high school.  Examples of dual enrollment are:

Accel – a non-need based program offered for students that wish to take college level (academic-only, degree-level) coursework for credit.

 Dual hope grant – a non-need based grant program for students seeking technical certificates or diplomas from the technical college system of Georgia’s institutions

 Move on when ready – requires an eligible 11th or 12th grade student to be full-time and take all of his or her courses through an eligible postsecondary institution.

 For more information on high school student participation in dual enrollment please contact your counselor.
