MISSION:

 

To provide a comprehensive, developmentally appropriate differentiated TEKS based curriculum for our gifted/talented K-12 population through appropriate staff development of our talented GT and Advanced Academics teachers.  This program will provide student-centered learning experiences with greater depth and complexity by encouraging students to develop higher level thinking skills.  By integrating the knowledge, influence, and perspectives of a wide array of academic disciplines, students will be inspired and motivated to new heights in learning.  Teachers will develop partnerships with students, parents and the diverse community of professionals to ensure the success of this endeavor.
