The Gatton Academy is a residential public high school for students interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math located at Western Kentucky University. Academy students complete their last two years of high school, while also beginning their undergraduate studies. As Gatton students, we are afforded many opportunities not available to typical high school students. First, all Academy students live together in a newly renovated residence hall on WKU’s campus. Secondly, all Gatton students take college courses with WKU students. This allows us to take challenging course loads in subjects that interest us. For example, I am interested in Biology and I have been able to take exciting classes like Bioinformatics and Neurobiology. Gatton
