Two Warren County Schools students have been selected to attend North Carolina’s Governor’s School this summer.
Jahari Walker of Warren County High School and Kmira Richardson of Warren Early College High School, were chosen from more than 1,800 nominees from across the state to participate in the month-long enrichment program, according to information from Warren County.
Jahari will attend Governor’s School East, which will be held at Meredith College. He will focus on Natural Science, engaging in an immersive curriculum designed to deepen his understanding of scientific concepts while also participating in interdisciplinary studies, including critical thinking and societal exploration.
Kmira will attend Governor’s School West at Greensboro College, where she will study Social Science. Her program will challenge her to analyze complex social systems while also expanding her perspective through courses centered on philosophy and self-awareness.
The North Carolina Governor’s School, the oldest program of its kind in the nation, offers a four-week residential experience that emphasizes intellectual growth, creativity, and collaboration. Students are not only immersed in their chosen disciplines but are also encouraged to explore new ideas, engage in meaningful dialogue, and build connections with peers from across the state.
Both Walker and Richardson will attend the session scheduled from June 21 to July 18, 2026, where they will participate in a dynamic academic environment designed to stretch their thinking and inspire future pursuits.
Their selection is a proud moment for Warren County Schools and a reflection of the district’s commitment to nurturing talent and preparing students for success beyond the classroom.
