McCracken County High School is proud to announce that twelve of its juniors have been selected for recognition by the prestigious Governor’s Scholars Program (GSP). Eleven students have been selected to attend the 2025 program, while one student has been named as an alternate.
Students selected to attend are: Jack Adreon, Conner Campbell, Mikell Fischer, Reagan Hill, Alexandra Leslie, Colin McCurren, Landon Nichols, Clara Pierce, Brooklin Preston, Jack Thompson, and Jaiden Walker. Ella DeHart has been selected as an alternate.
The Governor’s Scholars Program is a highly selective, five-week residential summer program for outstanding Kentucky high school students who are rising seniors. Designed to nurture and retain Kentucky’s brightest young minds, GSP provides students with a unique opportunity to engage in academic and personal development on a Kentucky college campus. This year’s program will take place at Centre College, Morehead State University, and Murray State University.
Students who are selected attend the program at no cost. The application process is rigorous, requiring academic excellence, a record of community involvement, teacher and community recommendations, and an original writing entry. Each year, over 2,000 students apply statewide, with approximately 1,000 selected to participate.
“We are incredibly proud of these students and all they’ve accomplished,” said MCHS Principal, Jonathan Smith. “Their selection reflects not only their individual talents and hard work but also the strong support from our teachers, families, and school community.”
McCracken County Public Schools congratulates these outstanding students and celebrates their dedication, achievement, and commitment to excellence.
