The Board would like to recognize the following students for their outstanding achievements:

i. 2025 North Carolina Governor’s School. AIG Coordinator Heidi Bullock will

make a presentation about the North Carolina Governor’s School and introduce the

four Transylvania County Schools students who have been invited to attend this

summer. The Governor’s School is a summer residential program for gifted and

talented high school students, who are selected through a highly competitive

process following school nomination. A maximum of 800 students, divided

between two host campuses, get to experience four weeks of college life, consisting

of guest speakers, elective seminars, and campus-wide activities. North Carolina’s

Governor’s School is the oldest institution of its kind in the nation and has a proud

tradition of excellence. We are honored to recognize our invitees and their areas of

excellence, as follows:

Tori Brown – French horn

Jack Gresham – Choral music

Keirra Hurst – Choral music

Greysen Motley – Natural science

We would, also, like to recognize and thank Ms. Bullock, whose assistance and

support certainly contribute to the continual selection of Transylvania County

Schools’ students.

ii. Perfect ACT Score. Brevard High School junior Jack Gresham, who is, also, being

recognized for his invitation to attend the 2025 Governor’s School, is being

honored tonight for another outstanding accomplishment. In March, Jack took the

ACT test and obtained a perfect composite score of 36! Nationwide, fewer than 1%

of all students who take the test achieve a perfect score. We ask everyone to join

us in congratulating Jack for all of his impressive academic achievements.
