The CCSD students selected for this summer’s program are: of Cherokee High School, juniors Makenzie Bird and Sydney Watson for Communicative Arts and Andrew Tang for Music; of Creekview High School, sophomore Chloe Feibus for Theatre Performance and juniors Jessica Holcomb for Music and Emerson Shi for Science; of Etowah High School, juniors Eli Acree and Cristina Garcia for Science and Caroline Honea for Agricultural Research, Biotechnology and Science; of Sequoyah High School, juniors Sunny Nguyen for World Languages and Anna Louise Panhorst for Science; of Woodstock HS, sophomore Lily Meredith for Communicative Arts.
“Congratulations to our Governor’s Honors finalists – I know you will represent your school and our community with excellence,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian V. Hightower said. “The bar to earn a spot at this elite program is set very high, and it’s impressive to see so many of our students selected and for such a variety of disciplines. Their selection is a testament to these students’ dedication to learning, as well as to the excellence of our teachers – congratulations to all of you as well!”
The Cherokee County School Board and Dr. Hightower will recognize the students at an upcoming school board meeting.
