Governor's Honors Program
The prestigious Governor's Honors Program (GHP) is available to intellectually gifted and talented sophomores and juniors.  Students go through an intensive interview process at the school, county, and state levels.  Fewer than 800 students from across Georgia become GHP "winner"; these students are rewarded with an all-expense-paid six week study program under the auspices of the State Department of Education, held on the campus of Valdosta State University.  Wheeler finalists who have attended the program enthusiastically maintain that it is an incredible experience, both intellectually and socially.

For questions about GHP, call Mrs. Taaffe at 770-568-6233, ext 257.
