To challenge themselves and prepare for post-secondary education, they can take dual credit or Advanced Placement classes, but they are often limited by what is available at their school or in their region. Fortunately, Bowling Green is home to a residential program that may be the answer for those who are itching to do more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Carol Martin Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science is a two-year residential program for high school juniors and seniors. Based at Western Kentucky University, the program allows young STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) enthusiasts a chance to advance their education alongside like-minded individuals. Assistant Director Kari Lynn Somers said that this opportunity exists because of the work of legislatures and citizens from across the state of Kentucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a long time standing,\u201d Somers said. \u201cDr. Julia Roberts worked with a team of folks who were passionate about making sure that Kentucky\u2019s brightest students had opportunities to accelerate their learning and find challenge in the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its establishment in 2007, The Gatton Academy has graduated 16 classes and over 1,000 students. Students can take between 60 and 72 credit hours in their two years of attendance, study abroad in England or Costa Rica, and conduct faculty-mentored research.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/bowling-green\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/03\/2-3-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/bowling-green\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/03\/2-3-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/bowling-green\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/03\/2-3-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/bowling-green\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/03\/2-3-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGatton students\u2019 research experiences often lead to them presenting at professional conferences, which can be at the local, state, national, or international level,\u201d Somers said. \u201cSome of our students\u2019 research has even been published with their names listed alongside their faculty mentors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most significant benefit, however, is the community formed by the students. Somers said many are known as \u201cthe smart kids\u201d at their local schools, and Gatton offers somewhere they don\u2019t feel so out of place. Students who may be quiet and keep their heads down in their home communities are able to find out who they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s phenomenal to see Gatton students get to be everything they want to be and\u00a0not only be the \u2018smart kid,\u2019\u201d Somers said. \u201cThey get to meet other people who think like them, want to solve problems, and have similar interests. They really encourage each other and come out of their shells.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While such an experience would generally cost quite a bit, thanks to funding from the Kentucky Legislature, tuition and room and board are offered at no cost. Other scholarships are also available for incidental living expenses, meaning any Kentucky resident can apply without concern for cost. However, there is only room for about 95 students per class, so getting accepted is an achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/bowling-green\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/03\/3-1-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/bowling-green\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/03\/3-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/bowling-green\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/03\/3-1-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/bowling-green\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/03\/3-1-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStudents have to apply during their sophomore year in high school and have to have completed Algebra I, geometry, and Algebra 2 by the end of that year. This will most likely be students who had access to Algebra 1 in eighth grade,\u201d Somers said. \u201cWe have a minimum required ACT score of 22 on the math section; that\u2019s a 540 on the SAT.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application process itself is meant to allow staff to get to know students in a well-rounded way. Students need to have a passion for STEM and the maturity to succeed in a residential program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting accepted does not mean giving up the chance to graduate with neighbors and friends. Gatton students remain enrolled in their home high schools and can walk across the stage with their peers when the time comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou kind of get the best of both worlds,\u201d Somers said. \u201cYou\u2019re going to get this prestigious diploma from The Gatton Academy, but you have that connection to your hometown.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, sending a high schooler to a residential program can be daunting. For that reason, interested parents are encouraged to visit the academy in person, talk to parents of currently enrolled students, and see what the school has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have opportunities throughout the year for families to be able to come visit us,\u201d Somers said. \u201cThose preview days are a great opportunity to really be able to see whether or not this is something that your child wants or you as a student want to pursue. But I always tell people, \u2018Just go for it. Apply and go through the process and see.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the saying goes, \u201cYou miss 100 % of the shots you don\u2019t take.\u201d <strong>GN&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YOUNG SCIENTISTS and mathematicians are often driven to learn and ready for class material far above their peers.
