Three Davie students have been selected to attend Governor’s School this summer.

Governor’s School takes place on two campuses: East, in Raleigh at Meredith College, and West, at Salem College in Winston-Salem. It is a five and one-half week residential program for intellectually gifted high school students and has different focus areas based on the students’ interests, ranging from the arts to English to math and science. Faculty and staff are culled from schools and universities across the country.

The program is generally open to rising seniors, with exceptions made for juniors studying performing or visual arts.

• Sierra Foster, a rising senior at Davie High, will attend Governor’s School East to study natural science. She is the daughter of Allen and Marjorie Foster of Mocksville.

• Olivia Jones, the daughter of Matt and Natasha Jones, of Mocksville, will attend Governor’s School East to study choral music. She is a rising junior at Davie High.

• China Moore, a rising senior at Davie Early College, will attend Governor’s School East to study theater. She is the daughter of Ray and Vicky Moore of Mocksville.

Tuition is partially funded by the state.
