School District Information

 

The Governor’s School for Science and Technology (GSST) was founded in 1985 and is one of nineteen Governor’s Schools in Virginia that serve as regional magnet programs for gifted students.  Students are drawn from 21 high schools in seven school divisions to include (Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, Williamsburg-James City County, York County, Gloucester County, and Isle of Wight County) and spend approximately half of their school day (3.25 hours) at the GSST. In addition to rigorous, college-level course work, seniors conduct an Honors Research/Mentorship project outside school hours. Students completing the program earn a  Virginia Governor’s Seal.
