2018 - 2019 Visits to Counselors
We also visit schools and talk to Guidance Counselors and Administrators while we are on the road. During these visits, we hand out our newest materials, answer any questions they may have, and, at times, have the opportunity to talk to current students who are interested.
Details about these visits will be released in the fall.
Want to know where we have visited in the past?
The Gatton Academy actively recruits students from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Each year, we visit schools all across the state in order to inform students, their families, and school administration about the opportunities available at The Gatton Academy.
