"Using cutting-edge technologies, the students’ research went in-depth at developing real-world applications.  The confidence and skills with which students worked was absolutely amazing.  Students worked as scientists, which is exactly what we hope will happen in schools across the commonwealth.  It is obvious that the students gained the knowledge and expertise that will serve them well as they make decisions regarding their future education and career path."
    -- Former Secretary of Education Carolyn Dumaresq

We all have busy lives but if PGSS taught us anything, it's that we really don't need that much sleep each night, especially when working on something that we are passionate about.
 
We need YOUR help:
  • finding alumni
  • hosting reunions
  • managing the website
  • serving on the fundraising committee
  • and much more!
Please contact Janet Hurwitz at janet.hurwitz@pgssalumni.org to help keep PGSS alive!


Our Mission

The PGSS Alumni Association (PGSSAA) is a non-profit organization established by alumni of the former Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Sciences (PGSS).  The members of the PGSSAA believe it is important to promote the teaching of evidence based science, mathematics, and computer science at the secondary school level and to encourage students who demonstrate an aptitude for mathematics and science to pursue science-based careers.

As alumni of the former PGSS, we recognize the importance of bringing students together to engage them intellectually as well as socially. One of the main goals of the PGSSAA, after establishing a network of alumni, is to raise funds for the re-establishment of a school in Pennsylvania like the former PGSS, ensuring that future generations of students benefit from the experience that meant so much to each of us.
The PGSS Alumni Association is run by the PGSS Campaign, a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
