Marshall County High School is honored to have 2 students accepted to the 2016 Kentucky Center Governor’s School for the Arts (GSA).  Both of our students were accepted in the area of drama.

Every summer for the past twenty-nine years, GSA and their faculty of professional artist/educators have guided over two hundred of Kentucky’s finest young artists through three weeks of incredibly intense (and incredibly fun) arts instruction. GSA auditions promising high school sophomores and juniors in nine different arts disciplines: Architecture+Design, Creative Writing, Dance, Drama, Instrumental Music, Musical Theatre, New Media: Still Photography and Film, Visual Art and Vocal Music.

For three solid weeks residing on a college campus, the students discover the power of their art and their place as an artist. It’s a thrilling, often life-changing experience, as they meet new friends, explore their creativity, and discover new things about who they are and who they can be in the future.

The students selected from Marshall County High School are: Thad Buchanan and Mary Cox
