Smith and Watts accepted to Governor's Scholars Program Adair County High School juniors Aaron Smith and Bailey Watts have been accepted to the Kentucky Governor's Scholars Program for summer 2024. GSP is a five-week summer residential program for outstanding high school students in Kentucky between their Junior and Senior years. In order to participate in the program, students must be nominated by their high schools and then compete on a state-wide level. The application process is similar to that of prestigious colleges and universities. The students must write lengthy applications that consist of all their academic, athletic, and community projects they have participated in since becoming a high school student. Mrs. Candice Flatt, the Gifted Coordinator for the Adair County School district, teaches these students during Tribe Time at the highschool, and both are in her Kentucky United Nations Assembly class. Mrs. Flatt says, "Bailey Watts and Aaron Smith are two amazing, intelligent, and hard-working students who compete at the state level in the Kentucky United Nations Assembly competition in Louisville, KY, each year. Aaron is on the debate team and has been extremely successful writing resolutions for our team. Bailey Watts was elected as the International Court of Justice President for the 2024-2025 school year. Both students excel in world politics and social economics. I am so pleased to have them in my program, and they are very deserving of the Governor's Scholars award. I know there are better things yet to come for these outstanding students."
