Philosophy of G/T Program
We recognize that students who possess exceptional gifts and talents should be challenged in school. G/T students are given the direction, time, encouragement, and resources to maximize their potential, whether it be in the area of intellect, specific academics, creativity, art, music, drama, or leadership. Administrators, teachers, counselors and facilitators will work with parents, students, and the community to identify gifted and talented students from all backgrounds. We will offer these students the differentiated instruction and opportunities they need in order to become confident and productive adults. Facilitators and teachers will work together to ensure that the educational needs of G/T students are met in the regular classroom and in specialized learning settings.
