Event Sponsorships - Join us for Leadership Tribute 2010!

The statewide Leadership Tribute is held every spring on our beautiful Governor's School campus. Each year this signature event honors selected supporters who have been instrumental in the life of the Governor's School since its beginnings and who are dedicated to the future of arts education in South Carolina.
