Governor’s School East 1999 > Calendar

---

This is based on a calendar I personally assembled while attending GSE 1999. Since it’s not an official calendar, it may not be entirely accurate, but it should be pretty close. Events are linked to documents related to that event that are available here, if applicable.

There was an official calendar for performing arts events.

The time for some events is listed as a particular “period”. These were the times for the five periods each day at GSE 1999 was divided into:

Period	Times
Period 1	08.30–09.45
Period 2	09.55–11.10
Period 3	11.15–12.30
Period 4	12.35–13.50
Period 5	13.55–15.15

Locations for most of these events can be found on the campus map for St. Andrews College. A few notes on locations listed below:

• “LA” refers to the Liberal Arts Building.
• The Gathering Place was in the Belk Student Center.
• It is not clear from the map where two venues, Concord Hill and Driggs, were actually located.
