The Southwest Virginia
Governor's School for Science, Mathematics, and Technology is one of eight
schools established by the Governor of Virginia to create special
educational opportunities to students with aptitude and interest in science
and mathematics. The school utilizes the combined resources of the
participating school divisions to provide programs which facilitate the
acquisition of scientific and technical knowledge through laboratory
investigation and research. Students attend the Governor's School for half
a day to take science, math, and research classes. The students not only
acquire credit necessary for graduation from high school, but they earn
college credit as well. Students take away not only the knowledge they have
gained through texts, lectures, and labs; but they also take away the
knowledge they have acquired from "real world" experiences. These
experiences include presentations by visiting scientists, three month
internships in the fields of their choice, and various field research.
