Mountain Vista Governor's School for Science, Math & Technology (commonly Mountain Vista or MVGS) is one of Virginia's 18 state-initiated governor's schools,〔(Virginia's Academic Year Governor's Schools )〕 serving primarily 11th and 12th graders. The school is composed of two campuses, one each in Middletown, Virginia, USA and Warrenton, Virginia, USA. Admission is determined via an application process.〔(Prospective Students )〕 ==History== Planning for Mountain Vista began in 2003; its participating counties were the last in the state not covered by an existing academic-year governor's school. The participating school systems surveyed parents and students within their respective counties to gauge interest. A plan for implementation was created and put into motion; A committee was formed, and approval was sought from the Virginia Department of Education.〔(Mountain Vista Governor’s School officially opens )〕 A first review of the plan was presented to the Virginia Department of Education at their January 11, 2006 meeting.〔(Board of Education Agenda January 11, 2006 )〕 The funding for MVGS (a total of $190,544) was first approved in the 2006-2008 Biennial Budget passed by the Virginia House of Delegates.〔(Report from the House of Delegates )〕 On January 11, the estimated portion of the school budget that the participating counties had to pay was approximately $216,527; it was divided among each of the counties.〔(Area's first governor's school on track for fall opening )〕 Each county's school board was responsible for approving both the funding and a 3 year commitment in order for the project to continue.〔(Winchester Public School Board Highlights )〕〔(Fauquier County Finance Committee Meeting )〕 Each jurisdiction was made responsible for the funding for each slot at the governor's school allocated to them. In May 2006, Dr. Rosanne Williamson, principal of Brumfield Elementary School in Fauquier County, was named director of Mountain Vista. She assumed the post on July 1. On January 15, 2011, students from both campuses travelled with their teachers to Richmond, where they participated in the 2011 Volvo Construction Challenge. The Middletown team of four students placed second in the Transportation Infrastructure challenge. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mountain Vista Governor's School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
