I attended Gov. School in 2016 and made life long friends. I gained valuable leadership skills and real world experience.

I attended MGS in the summer of '04, and it was a life-changing experience. I later went on to attend MSMS as well, and that decision was highly influenced by summer of learning and memorable experiences. I would recommend this program to any student that qualifies.

I attended MGS in 1984. It was such an amazing learning experience that initiated my life long desire to learn.

I went to MGS 2003, and have to say it was one of the best experiences of my life. I made lifelong friends and learned many amazing things. MGS is a great program that kids should be encouraged to get involved in!

The Mississippi Governor's School was an awesome experience! I attended it during the summer of 2007. No, it is not a place to learn how to be a governor. There, you learn leaderships skills, along with team skills. Sometimes, I didn't even realize that I was learning because I was having so much fun. Upon arriving there, I thought I was going to be an oddball, but actually, we were all oddballs. We became one big family. We became, and will continue to be, lifelong friends!

I attended MGS in 2000 and it was one of the best programs of that kind I had ever been through. Even other programs I have attended after MGS do not mean as much to me. The values for with MGS stands for make this program something special.

Mississippi Governor's School has been the greatest experience of my life. I have met all of my lifelong friends, except my brother and sister, there. MGS means more to me than I can possibly say here.
