Officials of the Kentucky Governor’s School for the Arts have announced winners for the 2017 school year. Marshall County High School is honored to have two students accepted to the 2017 GSA Summer Program and two students recognized as alternates.
Every summer for the past 29 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 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. This year GSA has selected 256 students from across the state of Kentucky.
The students selected from Marshall County High School are:
Tessa Northcutt – Drama
Haley Ford – Visual Art
Alyssa Hubbard – Creative Writing Alternate
Russell Edwards – Creative Writing Alternate
