The Governor's School for Tourism provides selected 9th- and 10th-grade students with opportunities to tour West Virginia for 10 days, learning about the tourism and hospitality sectors of our economy through hands-on experiences and introducing various career paths in one of the state’s fastest-growing industries. Students will stay at multiple state park lodges and visit historical and other significant landmarks across Almost Heaven. This exciting experience is being planned as a collaboration between the West Virginia Department of Tourism and the West Virginia Department of Education. The opportunity is free, and applications are currently open. Contact your school counselor for more information.
