An Awesome Experience!

The West Virginia Governor's School for the Arts 2009 will be held at West Liberty State College in the northern panhandle for a second consecutive year..

If you are a tenth-grader who writes, dances, sings, plays an instrument, acts, draws/paints, or works in digital media, take the time to explore this site and talk about it with other students who have attended. They report that the Governor's School for the Arts (GSA) is the "most awesome experience" of their lives. Read through the entire site before making your decision. If it seems that this is just the opportunity you've been looking for, take the first step and start the application process. It could change you forever.

 

Applicants must currently live and attend school in West Virginia. Students who attend public and private schools as well as those who are home-schooled are eligible. Selected students are also expected to attend school within West Virginia in 2009-2010..
