Top: Governors Honors is an enrich ment program provided by the State of Georgia for unusually gifted or tal- ented students. A process of elimination is followed for selecting a student for Governors Honors. After being nominated by a teacher, the school counselors then average previous test scores and dis- cuss the students capabilities. After being nominated both by teacher and counselor an application is sent to the Assistant Superintendent of Second- ary Education. Those students chosen by the assistant superintendent are sent to Wesleyn College in Macon, for interviews. These semi-finalists com- pete for the state level of Governors Honors. Five semi-finalists were chosen from Jordan: Curtis Paul of the Mathe- matics Department, Paige Lovett from Music, Mark Lucas and Darlene Carr both of Art, and Teresa Holland from the English Department. 2 Lower left: Distinguished Junior Cadet Award for Scholastic Excellence Awards are given to recognize the distinquished heroic, meritorious acts of the individual and his status and acheivements.
