Nearly 90 Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) students were named finalists for the 2025-26 Governor’s Honors Program. The Georgia Governor’s Honors Program (GHP) is a residential summer program for gifted and talented high school sophomores and juniors. The program offers instruction that is significantly different from the typical high school classroom and that is designed to provide students with academic, cultural, and social enrichment necessary to become the next generation of global critical thinkers, innovators, and leaders.

A total of 87 GCPS students were named finalists with an additional 25 named as alternates. The 2025-26 GHP program will be held June 14–July 11, at Georgia Southern University. As program participants, students attend classes in the mornings and afternoons in specific areas of study and have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of social and instructional opportunities every evening. Meals and rooms are provided by the program.
