The Talented and Gifted (TAG) Program provides services for students identified as having significantly advanced general intellectual ability and/or specific academic aptitude.  TAG services are available starting in Kindergarten.  The campus TAG teacher works closely with the grade level teacher to meet the needs of each identified child.  They determine the best learning plan for the child including aligned TEKS-based lessons which explore content in depth and in complexity.

Opportunities exist for students to engage in independent study options that allow them to go into great detail in their areas of interest and strength.  Students may also compact and accelerate through the curriculum commensurate with their abilities. 

The student goals for Gifted Education are:

► Thinking Skills

► Subject Matter Knowledge and Skills

► Research and Independent Study Skills

► Self-Concept and Leadership

Nomination for all students opens in November. Testing for all students takes place in January.
