Governor’s is a welcoming community that is diverse and welcomes every kind of person. The faculty, teachers, students, and overall community make you feel like the best version of yourself. The teachers want you to succeed in your school work, and so does everyone else in every other aspect of your life. Governor’s is a place where you feel accepted and that you are working towards greatness.
As good as the academics are, administration can tend to make student's lives unbearable. Facilities are old and outdated, especially for the field house and other sports facilities. Dining hall food also needs to be changed.
No words can describe how amazing Govs is! Only students alum, and faculty who have attended Govs can understand its beauty!
