Student Services would like to invite 10th grade students to apply for the Hugh O'Brian Youth (HOBY) leadership workshops. The HOBY programs focus on personal and group leadership, service, and innovation. This 3-day leadership program consists of seminars, workshops, and other events designed to inspire and challenge young people to think critically, solve problems, and become engaged citizens. FGHS will nominate one student and select one alternate. The deadline to submit your HOBY Interest Form to be nominated is December 1, 2025. Please see Ms. Hornacek for more information. 

 

The Summer Training in Academic Research (STAR) Program provides a high-quality research experience for high school students, undergraduate students, and medical students during the summer academic break.

The five-week in-person program will give participants interested in science and medicine real hands-on experience in research methodology and writing. Participants are placed in teams and matched with Duke faculty mentors to work on an original, hypothesis-driven project, originating as a one-page summary and culminating in a complete research paper. A goal of the program is to have every participant qualify for co-authorship on a peer-reviewed manuscript related to their team’s project.

The STAR Program is held at the Duke Clinical Research Institute in Durham, N.C., which has organized educational and support programs for junior faculty, fellows, residents, and medical students as well as high school and college students. Participants receive a stipend to attend, which makes the program an option even for students who plan to work over the summer break.

More information can be found here.

An unforgettable adventure awaits your child in Italy!

After rolling out our London and Dublin tour for this coming Summer, I wanted to get the information about our 2027 tour out as soon as possible so that families can prepare financially and have more time to get a passport, etc. for this option!

We will be heading to Italy in Summer 2027, and I'd love for your child to join! Students will get to see Venice, Florence, Rome and Assisi and the tour includes stops like a gondola ride in Venice and touring Vatican City in Rome. Want to learn more? Register for my upcoming interest meeting!
