The Pennsylvania Governor's Schools of Excellence consist of six summer residential enrichment programs for high school students excelling in the arts or academic subjects. Tuition, room, board, classroom materials, activities, and field trips are provided to all students selected to participate. Selection is meritorious and highly competitive. These schools were created to offer students a unique learning environment. These programs take place on college campuses. Students will engage in "hands-on" experiences in the arts, health care, international studies, the sciences and teaching. The programs stress innovation and instruction in a professional studio and laboratory settings. Students may obtain applications and information from Mrs. Romito in the Counseling Office in October.

Notices of many contests and competitions come through our office such as Future Problem Solving, Knowledge Master, Model UN, and Hometown High Q and Pitt Quiz Bowl. As these become available, information is given to the teachers in certain discipline areas and they, in turn, relay information to the students. Announcements are also made daily when a competition becomes available. When students express an interest, we then assist them in organizing their teams and making whatever arrangements are necessary. When competitions are announced, the students should see Mr. Bruce or Mrs. Romito in the Counseling Office.
Bethel Park High School started participating in this competition held at the University of Pittsburgh in November. Pitt's Model UN was made up of local high school students who assumed the roles of diplomats of the various delegations represented in the UN committees. The participants discussed controversial issues facing the worldwide community within the formal context of a UN simulation. The objective was to arrive at resolutions through cooperation and negotiation, which would then be received in the General Assembly of the UN. |
