EJHS Tolbert Named GHP Finalist
East Jackson High School's Titus Tolbert has been named a finalist for the prestigious Governor's Honors Program. Titus was first announced as an alternate but was moved into the finalist category earlier this week. He will study Music - Voice during the four-week long summer program held at Georgia Southern University.
The Governor's Honors Program hosts talented rising juniors and seniors for the four-week long residential program at GSU, where instruction is significantly different from high school instruction and is designed to provide students with academic, cultural and social enrichment. The GHP program works to develop global thinkers, innovators and leaders.
Being named a GHP finalist is extremely difficult. There are approximately 250,000 eligible students from throughout the state, and only .264 percent of those students are named finalists for the program.
