The program is a residential summer program for gifted and talented high school students. Sponsored by the Governor's Office of Student Achievement, the program will be held at Berry College in Rome. This will be the 56th edition of the GHP, making it the longest continually running program of its kind in the nation.

They will now complete an online application and a task/performance related to their subject area. After online submissions from students throughout the state of Georgia have been evaluated, a select number of qualified students will interview at the state semi-finals. Semi-finalists will be announced on January 25, 2019, and will then compete in the interview session on February 23. Students selected as state finalists will attend Berry College during the summer to participate in a four-week program in their areas of study.
The Hall County School System's nominees were announced a few weeks ago.
