The goal of the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) is for all students to graduate from high school ready for college, careers and life, to pursue the future of their choosing. Ninety-five percent of new jobs created since the Great Recession require a college education, yet only half of Utah’s population has a college degree or high-quality certificate. Most students will need to earn a postsecondary credential...to achieve a family-sustaining wage in today’s economy. College & Career Pathways: During High School

Sterling Scholar

Sterling Scholar Application

Sterling Scholar Program

Sterling Scholars are students who have excelled both academically and in their selected category. Sterling Scholars have been involved in leadership and participated in community service projects. The students who are selected to represent G.H.S. as a Sterling Scholar have the opportunity to receive scholarships and cash awards.

Students who are interested in being a Sterling Scholar should take both rigorous classes and classes related to the Sterling Scholar category that they are interested in throughout high school. Involvement in extra-curricular activities and community service projects will also benefit applicants. Students are selected to represent GHS as a Sterling Scholar based on their application.
