Greenwood High School students (from left) Raleigh de los Reyes, Jonathon Berry, and Harrison Reed have been selected for the prestigious Governor’s School for the Arts (GSA). GSA gives an opportunity for high-achieving students to study art, drama or music in a summer residential program.

Rising juniors and seniors in high school are offered in-depth instruction in one of nine artistic disciplines: architecture, creative writing, dance, drama, instrumental music, musical theatre, new media, visual art or vocal music. More than 1,600 students audition for the program each year at four sites across Kentucky, with only 225 students being selected. Selection for GSA includes: full tuition, room and board to attend the school; the opportunity to learn in a supportive community of distinguished master-teachers; the chance to audition for scholarships before the nation’s top colleges and universities; and the excitement of performing at the Student Performance Festival at the conclusion of the program.
