The Governor’s Scholars Program is a summer residential program for outstanding high school students in Kentucky who are rising seniors. In order to participate in the Program, students must be nominated by their high schools and then compete on a state-wide level. Selection for the program is highly competitive, with an application process similar to that of prestigious colleges and universities.

RCHS Juniors began SAT testing today, and testing will continue for all juniors over the next several days. Those students who miss their regularly scheduled testing date will be given a make-up opportunity; however, that date has not yet been set. As soon as we set that date, we will share it with students.
