(Editor’s Note. The MISD will highlight our 2020 Governor's Scholar Recipients individually through our MISD social media platforms. Congratulations to our 2020 Recipients and Alternates).

Whitaker is Junior Class President, Varsity Golf Captain, Golf All A State Team Qualifier, 2019 FBLA State Qualifier, Varsity Tennis Team, Vice President Beta Club, FCA Leadership Team, YAC, Math, Art, and Spanish Club member. Whitaker is a Sunday School Volunteer Teaching Assistant and Elementary Math Club Leader.
Arrangements for the 2020 GSP program are still being finalized. Governor's Scholars are selected from across Kentucky and represent the diversity of the Commonwealth.
The program is singularly free from competition, creating an environment that is conducive to building a community of friends and colleagues.
The program offers Scholars a chance to know and make friends with other enthusiastic, energetic students with high intellectual capacities. The give-and-take among Scholars from different backgrounds is one of the most treasured aspects of the program.
The GSP Statewide Selection Committee faced some very difficult choices in selecting the 20210 Scholars from a highly competitive field of 1,857 outstanding young Kentuckians. The 1,020 students accepted represent 55 percent of the total pool of candidates.
