Gaffney High School students Jeanette Li and Eboni-Shanielle Wafford have successfully completed the Governor’s School at The College of Charleston.

The Governor’s School is a four-week residential academic program, which began this year June 12 and ended July 9. The program has been held each summer since 1976 on The College of Charleston campus.

Students eligible for Governor’s School are rising seniors nominated by their high schools and are all in the top of their classes in terms of academic achievement, potential and ambition. This year, more than 133 public and private high schools nominated students. Nominees were then screened in a statewide competition to select the 200 students who participated in the 2005 program.

The Governor’s School features rigorous college-level study in a variety of academic disciplines. Areas of concentration for this year’s program included biomedical science, law and society, playwriting, computer science and Charleston history. Students also enrolled in global issues classes.
