The Board would like to recognize the following students for their outstanding achievements:
 
            i.         2025 North Carolina Governor’s School.  AIG Coordinator Heidi Bullock will
                       make a presentation about the North Carolina Governor’s School and introduce the
                       four Transylvania County Schools students who have been invited to attend this
                       summer.  The Governor’s School is a summer residential program for gifted and
                       talented high school students, who are selected through a highly competitive
                       process following school nomination.  A maximum of 800 students, divided
                       between two host campuses, get to experience four weeks of college life, consisting
                       of guest speakers, elective seminars, and campus-wide activities.  North Carolina’s
                       Governor’s School is the oldest institution of its kind in the nation and has a proud
                       tradition of excellence. We are honored to recognize our invitees and their areas of
                       excellence, as follows:
                       
                       Tori Brown – French horn
                       Jack Gresham – Choral music
                       Keirra Hurst – Choral music
                       Greysen Motley – Natural science
 
                       We would, also, like to recognize and thank Ms. Bullock, whose assistance and
                       support certainly contribute to the continual selection of Transylvania County
                       Schools’ students.
 
            ii.         Perfect ACT Score.  Brevard High School junior Jack Gresham, who is, also, being
                        recognized for his invitation to attend the 2025 Governor’s School, is being
                        honored tonight for another outstanding accomplishment. In March, Jack took the
                        ACT test and obtained a perfect composite score of 36!  Nationwide, fewer than 1%
                        of all students who take the test achieve a perfect score.  We ask everyone to join
                        us in congratulating Jack for all of his impressive academic achievements.
