Congratulations to Deana Brooks and Patrick Forshey, for their recent acceptance to the Governor's School for Science and Mathematics. GSSM is located near Coker's College in Hartsville, SC. Since the program is a
residential program, students are required to live on campus during their junior and senior years of high school. They study the same subjects required of other high school students in SC, but they have more intensive math and science courses, which helps prepare them for college courses and careers in those areas.
