Welcome!

"Governor's School helps students from all backgrounds see that agriculture is deeply intertwined with all aspects of living, from the food system to conservation of natural resources."

Each summer, 64 of the state's top high school juniors and seniors spend five weeks at Penn State, learning about agricultural sciences topics such as animal and plant science, natural resources and the environment, and food science and agricultural engineering from over 80 College of Agricultural Sciences faculty and staff. The students work on research projects, and have access to college facilities, including specialized libraries and laboratories.

An Important Announcement From The Pennsylvania Governor's Schools of Excellence:

The recent economic downturn has necessitated cutbacks in a wide variety of state programs. The Governor's state budget for fiscal year 2009 - 2010 does not contain funds for the operation of the Governor's Schools during the summer of 2009. Therefore, the Pennsylvania Governor’s School for the Agricultural Sciences has been cancelled for summer 2009.
