Gifted and Talented










Providing students with a program to meet specific needs in a selected academic curriculum is the primary goal of the Highland Gifted and Talented Program. Additionally, the program provides students with unique opportunities to develop individual talents and to strengthen skills. Emphasis on a positive self-concept, relationships with others, and strategies to develop critical thinking skills enables students to become independent, self-directed learners.


Gifted/Talented students will

  • develop critical thinking skills in order to solve problems logically
  • develop research skills and use information gathered to implement a group research project
  • demonstrate the ability to use creative problem solving strategies
  • recognize how change in and around their world affects their relationships
