2008-09 Calendar

In general, the Governor's School will follow the Dabney S. Lancaster Community College calendar for dual-enrollment classes. Governor's School students will be expected to be on campus on some additional days between semesters to make up for released time during their high school exams.

While every effort will be made to follow the home high schools schedules, it is inevitable that there will be days when students will be expected to attend the Governor's School when their home high schools are not in session, and days when they will be expected to attend their home high schools, but not the Governor's School.

Orientation
New students will be expected to attend an orientation session during the summer prior to the start of the school year.
For summer 2008, and the day-long session will be held on Monday, August 18 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
