Demographics
The table indicates the school systems represented by students in both Humanities and Visual & Performing Arts programs. Private school data are listed under "Private." If a division does not appear in this list, that division has not been represented in the Humanities or Visual & Performing Arts programs. This table does not include numbers from other Governor's School programs. Each division is guaranteed one student in an academic Governor's School, which includes Math, Science & Technology, Humanities, and Agriculture. Some systems choose to send no students because of financial shortages; each school division pays a portion of the cost for each student it sends to a Governor's School program.
