Project Excel and Governor's School gave qualified students a chance to experience and par- ticipate in an accelerated learn- ing environment. Governors School was a six- week statewide program for juniors and seniors on the Salem and St. Andrews cam- puses. Senior Peter Mork and junior Mariana Schwartz attended Salem College for orchestra and junior Beth Brown for art. Senior Jason Reed attended St. Andrews for choral music, junior Mike Schill for French and junior Katie Leiva for English. Project Excel took place for a shorter period of time, lasting three weeks at the UNCC and Queens College campuses. Juniors Anna Townes and Ingrid Kincaid studied drama at Queensg senior Amy Setzer studied art at Queens. Senior Cindy Foster and juniors Katie Leiva and Reed Cooley studied science at UNCCg senior Jon Leonard studied Criminal Jus- tice at UNCC and Bronwyn r. as IP' 3. ef xzv-Jvfej avril, 523 14-Eigyfi 'I Mauldin studied writing at UNCC. ln addition to the strong aca- demic emphasis, Project Excel also concentrated on physical activity with programs designed to make the group work together as a whole. One activi- ty was repelling down a six story building. The worst part was making yourself go. Once you started it was easy, said senior Amy Setzer. These summer programs helped prepare the students for college life. I did more than just learn new information. I discov- ered a whole new way to learn, Mork said. Aloha!
