High Achieving Programs

Gifted and Talented

The mission of gifted education is to maximize the potential of gifted and talented students by providing programs and services that match the unique characteristics and needs of these students.

Students with outstanding talent demonstrate the potential for performing at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experience, or environment. These students exhibit high performance abilities in intellectual, creative, and/or artistic areas, possess leadership qualities and/or excel in specific academic fields. They require services or activities to develop these talents.
