Gifted & Talented Program

A "gifted and talented student" is one who by virtue of outstanding mental abilities is capable of high performance. The student may demonstrate, singly or in combination, above average achievement or potential in such areas as general intellectual ability, specific subject matter aptitude, ability in creative and productive thinking, and leadership ability.

The Vanguard Gifted & Talented Program at Mark Twain serves students who have met certain criteria set by the school district and have been identified as gifted and talented. This pull out enrichment program provides students with educational opportunities designed to focus on student strengths and extend their abilities. Students can apply for the program in any grade level.

Contact Mrs. Jackie Norris for more information regarding this program.
