GHS Junior Faren Roth Selected as CT Governor’s Scholar

Guilford High School junior Faren Roth has been selected as one of Connecticut’s Governor’s Scholars of 2017. Roth was chosen from an entry pool of the top juniors in Connecticut’s high schools by the Governor’s Scholars Committee of the Connecticut Association of Schools.

The Governor’s Scholars Program recognizes academically talented high school students throughout the state. Principals are given the opportunity to nominate one junior who ranks in the top five percent of his or her class. Those members of the Governor’s Scholars Committee who are professional educators from throughout Connecticut judge the completed applications and assign a composite score to each student’s PSAT or SAT score and submitted essay. Thirty of the top students are selected as Governor’s Scholars and will receive recognition at a luncheon on May 1 at the Aqua Turf Club, as well as participation in courses at various Connecticut colleges and universities.

At Guilford High School, Roth is a member of the soccer, fencing, and tennis teams, Interact and environmental clubs, and plays French horn in the wind ensemble, symphony, and pit orchestras. She looks forward to studying science in college.
