LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/ncgsf The North Carolina Governor’s School Foundation was incorporated in 1990 as a non-profit whose sole purpose is to support and preserve North Carolina's flagship summer enrichment program. Led by a Board of Directors comprised of program administrators, educators, and alumni from across the state, the Governor’s School Foundation and its affiliates view the School as a wellspring for intellectual growth, preparing future leaders for an increasingly competitive North Carolina workforce where inquisitive and nuanced thinking is a prerequisite to success. In 2020, the Foundation merged with and assumed the responsibilities of the Governor's School Alumni Association. The Foundation is committed to strengthening the future of North Carolina by helping to fund opportunities for North Carolina's talented next generation.

CONGRATULATIONS, GS ALUM! 🎉

We’re celebrating Alexander Lloyd Blake and TONALITY on their second Grammy win!

Alexander’s Blake a star Governor’s School alum and graduate of the USC Thornton School of Music, earned a Grammy with his ensemble TONALITY, which was featured on the album Nomadica by Carla Patullo. Nomadica received the award for Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album—an extraordinary achievement.

Reflecting on his journey, Blake shared:

“No dream is too big. I am living proof of that. Lean into the thing that gives you joy because that’s the fuel when life gets hard, when the life of making art gets hard. If there’s something that calls to you, whether it’s defined or not, trust that there’s a reason why that passion is there—lean into that, and then I think it will take you places maybe that you might not have thought.”

We couldn’t be more proud to celebrate Alexander, TONALITY, and the power of following your passion—all the way to the Grammy stage.
