Welcome to SATRocks.com,  the official website of Governor Sonny Perdue's Governor's Cup Challenge to Georgia high schools to improve SAT* scores.

On September 20, 2004 Governor Perdue announced the first winners of the Governor's Cup and has renewed this friendly competition each year since. Winners are announced in the early fall after the release of SAT scores in mid-August.

The Governor's Cup Challenge focuses on raising SAT scores across the state. Schools compete on 3-year average gains from their "most recent" SAT average based on scores from participating seniors in critical reading and math. "Most recent" SAT scores are obtained by combining the critical reading and math scores from the most recent administration of the test. Only critical reading and math score gains will be used for the awards until the new SAT test has been administered for three years. At that time, the Governor's Office of Student Achievement will render as decision as to whether writing scores will also be included in calculating Governor's Cup winners.

The Governor's Cup Challenge is organized by Georgia High School Association (GHSA) Class and Region assignments. By using these assignments, schools are compared against similarly-sized schools within the same region of the state.

High schools are encouraged to implement innovative strategies that will improve student performance on the SAT. For more information, tour the SATRocks.com website.
