What is Gifted and Talented?
Protected by state law and district policy.
Gifted and talented (GT) refers to a child who performs or shows the potential of
performing at a remarkably high level of accomplishment when compared to
others of the same age, experience, or environment.
Gifted and talented children may also exhibit an unusual capacity for
leadership or high-performance capability in an intellectual, creative, or
artistic area.
Enrichment & Extracurricular
Enrichment activities include opportunities that provide depth and complexity through exploration, extension, or elaboration. Extracurricular activities and organized events include opportunities outside of the traditional school day such as clubs, competitions, contests, mentorships, and internships. Campuses select which activities to offer.
