WV Governor's Honors Academy

The 2025 West Virginia Governor’s Honors Academy (GHA) at West Virginia University will provide unforgettable learning and life experiences for students this summer.

Academic and extracurricular activities will open minds as scholars explore this year’s theme: Appalachia Envisioned. By imagining a Mountain State of the future, students can shape a pathway forward through their lens of generational insights and passion about the world before them.

How can we create a landscape that embraces our culture and history while also adapting to the demands of a global workforce and community? GHA Scholars will lead the way to show us how.
