Alumni Comments

"Governor's School was one of the outstanding experiences of my high school career. It truly inspired me to do 'science'. I would like to note that 2% of Princeton's Class of 2002 are NJ Governor's Scholars and there are more scholars in this class than most states have."

"Governor's School was probably one of the most amazing experiences of my life so far. It provided each of its scholars with a network of people that the normal high school student would never be privy to, giving us access to people at universities around the country, and to hobbies and interest we could have never developed on our own. The class I took taught me research techniques and gave me experience with pulling together a large-scale presentation, which I have put to use. I guess what I would like to say about the Governor's School is that I'm glad I went, I would never have traded it for the world, and I hope it continues."

"Governor's School was one of the best experience of my life to date. I have never had to work so hard hand have so much be expected of me, while enjoying myself and feeling myself grow as an individual. I am thankful that I was given such a great opportunity and lucky that I was able to accept and rejoice it. Thank you for changing my life and showing me what I can do with my talent and my future if I push myself to my furthest capabilities."

"Governor's School was an unbelievable experience for me. It helped open my eyes and mind to science in a way that was not possible in high school I do not think I would be where I am now if it was for my time at the Governor's School."

"Governor's School was a wonderful time in my life. Having attended it made me anticipate college even more excitedly than I normally would have because I had a sense of how dynamic it would be."

"I am and have always been a strong supporter of New Jersey's Governor's School. The experience was incredible for me, and I learned so much from both my classes and the students around me. I also built some amazing and lasting friendships there, and I am so thankful for providing me with the opportunity to meet these wonderful students."
