Quotes and Comments
“Governor’s Honors Academy provides a near-utopian environment for teaching and learning for some of West Virginia’s most outstanding students. Making the joy of learning the goal—not grades or test scores or credentials—GHA teaches students to find the intrinsic value in their education and to approach inquiry in creative and open-ended ways.” -Ryan Claycomb, Associate Dean, Honors College
“I just want to say that, we have been planning this school for the last six months and in the first day we were able to see what extraordinary high school students we have in the state.” -Julia Bolt, Assistant Director at Brickstreet Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
