The Southwest Virginia Governor's School for Science, Mathematics, and Technology is an Academic Year Governor’s School established 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. Our mission is to give intellectually gifted high school students the opportunity to achieve their academic potential by providing an accelerated and enriched science and mathematics learning environment of exceptional quality, setting the pace for excellence in science and mathematics education in Southwest Virginia. We recognize that our students are not merely participants in the Governor’s School program, they are the program itself. To remain vital, we will carefully plan our future curriculum and growth based on the ever-changing needs and interests of our students, the school systems supporting them, and the business community who will be their future employers.
