“This is a wonderful example of regional cooperation,” said the former director of the Commonwealth Governor’s School in Stafford. “You [students] are the new shining stars of this program. So take it and run with it.”
In an effort to jump start the students’ academic success, teachers and administrators provided each of them with a backpack on Sunday in which they’re to carry the laptops they’re receiving at orientation this week.
Rappahannock County High School will be sending four students to the Governor’s School this year. Christina Narramore and Rachel Zeh will represent the senior class together with juniors Jordan Tbrrance and Ben Pendleton.
“They seemed very diverse,” said junior Jordan Tbrrence after meeting his classmates. “I am actually kind of nervous about it; it will definitely be a challenge.”
Rappahannock County High School principal Roger Mello was proud of the students in the school.
“I think our students will do well,” he said. “One of the things that the Governor’s School does is raise the bar academically for all of the kids as they strive to apply even though only a couple of students will get accepted.” He added, “It’s going to be a winwin situation for the kids selected and the school itself.”
Students will attend the Governor’s School, which has classrooms at the two Lord Fairfax Community College campuses, in the mornings and then return to their base schools for the afternoon.
