The gifted program provides directions for students and parents with a whole campus/whole student approach utilizing teachers and counselors that are trained to identify and meet the unique needs of gifted students dealing with unique issues.

The Gifted Counselors work with students during scheduled meetings, as well as during unscheduled, informal meetings. They also regularly share information with students and families through written and electronic means. Counselors are available for meetings, consultations, and telephone conversations with students, parents, teachers and administrators as needs and interests arise.
