During the summer of 2016 one of our very own CHS students, Alyssa McKnight was fortunate enough to attend the Arkansas Governor’s school at Hendrix College in Conway, AR. The Arkansas Governor’s School is a six-week program during the summer for gifted and talented upcoming high school seniors and residents of the state of Arkansas. This is funded by the Arkansas State Legislature as a part of the appropriation for Gifted and Talented Programs through the State Department of Education. State funds provide tuition, room, board, and instructional materials for each student who attends the six-week program that takes place at a residential college campus.
