A trio of Tallulah Falls School students has been named semi-finalists for the Georgia Governor’s Honors Program (GHP).

According to the website, GHP is a residential summer program for gifted and talented high school students who will be rising juniors and seniors during the program. The program offers instruction significantly different from the typical high school classroom. It is designed to provide students with academic, cultural and social enrichment necessary to become the next generation of global critical thinkers, innovators, and leaders.

Junior Walker Bailey of Lula was named in the area of Mathematics; sophomore Annabelle Jackson of Alto was named in the area of Visual Arts and junior Seungwook “Daniel” Shin of Seoul, South Korea, was named in the area Mechanical & Electrical Engineering.

“We are thrilled to celebrate a high-achieving group of students once again,” said Upper School counselor Michelle Barron. “The Governor’s Honors Program offers these students an incredible opportunity to excel in an area of greatest potential.”

State-level semi-finalists’ interviews will take place on February 26 at Berry College, with finalists being named on March 25.
