Alumni Recognition Award

The GSA Foundation is pleased to present its annual Leadership Tribute to recognize individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary dedication to the future of the arts in South Carolina through their support of the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities.  In 2010, they honored Joan Coker, Glenn Hilliard, Betty Stall and David Wilkins – four key players whose significant efforts have been instrumental in the life of the residential Governor’s School since its beginnings.  Because of these individuals, the young emerging artists of South Carolina are assured state-of-the-art facilities and boundless opportunities to nurture and further their artistic talents. 

As a part of the school’s celebration of its 10th Anniversary, the Foundation added something new by honoring an alumnus of the school with their first annual Alumni Recognition Award.  This inaugural award was presented to Caleb Jones, a remarkable music graduate from the Class of 2003, for his desire to keep his art form a priority in his life and his success in doing so.  In addition, we may all acknowledge his superb and continued ability to embody the mission and values of the residential high school program.
