Academy Named to “Public Elites”

The Gatton Academy has been named to Newsweek’s 2009 list of “The Public Elites“.   Though 15 other Kentucky high schools appear on Newsweek’s list of top-performing high schools, This marks the first occasion in which a Kentucky high school has been recognized as a member of The Public Elites.

Though Newsweek’s list is called The Public Elites, the Gatton Academy is not an exclusive opportunity.   All Kentucky sophomores are welcome to apply to the program through a competitive admissions process.  To date, the Gatton Academy has admitted students from 87 of the 120 counties across the Commonwealth.
