For Educators and Parents

GSE School-level responsibilities

In 2021, an effort is made to contact all eligible students regarding the Governor's School of Entrepreneurship. Counselors should receive an email message from Sherry Keffer asking that they follow new recruiting procedures.

More specifically, counselors are asked to do the following:

Guide career-minded students to apply to the School of Entrepreneurship. Provide information in a letter you will receive to 9th, 10th, and 11th graders, using the k12 email addresses.
The counselor provides a signed official transcript with the attendance record. Please redact Social Security numbers.
There is not a GPA requirement; however, students requesting college credit must meet university standards.
The principal or assistant principal writes a brief recommendation.
Mailing the application is the responsibility of the student, not the school.

Parent Information

Attending GSE requires commitment on the part of the student and his/her whole family. The school lasts over the course of 5 weeks, three days weekly, and students are expected to participate in all sessions. There will be no GSE sessions the week of July 4. The other weeks, classes will meet Monday through Wednesday.

Any required materials will be provided by GSE and sent to the students via mail.
