Parrott students headed to summer study

Three Parrott Academy juniors have been accepted into the 2021 session of the N.C. Governor’s School.  Juniors Kate Robinson and Ava Blair will attend with a concentration in dance, and junior Nastia Hnatov has been accepted into the visual arts program. 

Hnatov’s application required her to submit three works virtually and create a video discussing her inspiration, choice of medium, and process for each piece of art. She will attend Governor’s School at the High Point University campus.  

Robinson and Blair will attend Meredith College. Their acceptance was based on a video audition and essays. Robinson was accepted to the 2020 Governor’s School, one of 12 sophomores in the state to receive the honor. Due to COVID canceling Governor’s School in 2020, all sophomore students were given an option to attend this summer as juniors. This year’s Governor’s School will be held from June 20th to July 28th. 

Sophomore James Johnson will join the School Year Abroad program for study in France. Based on his knowledge of French, responsibility, and self-sufficiency, he will be traveling to France for a full year of study abroad.
