How are students nominated for the Governors School?
The nomination process has multiple steps at the school and district levels. In individual schools, teachers, principals, and counselors nominate applicants to the local public school superintendent or private school headmaster. (If a discipline studied at the Governor’s School is not offered in an individual high school, a student may request to be nominated in that discipline. All applicants must meet the criteria established for the N. C. Governor’s School.) Each public school system determines which of the school nominees will be sent for final selection at the state level.
