“The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size.”

—Oliver W. Holmes

Millsap Independent School District is committed to educating all students in order to meet their potential. However, it recognizes that some students consistently excel in one or more academic areas. The Gifted and Talented Program will focus on our gifted and talented students and enrich and enhance the curriculum for all students as well.

These educational opportunities are provided because gifted students, while having similar needs as their peers, also require qualitatively differentiated educational services or learning experiences not ordinarily provided within the regular curriculum. Millsap ISD will offer enriched educational services that meet each student's level of achievement and assist all students in achieving their potential. The decision-making for the program is based on input from parents and staff regarding ongoing improvements in our services through district and campus advisory committees.

Millsap ISD Gifted/Talented Program Design

Millsap Independent School District offers a variety of learning experiences and opportunities for Gifted and Talented students in grades K-12. Instructional and organizational patterns will be flexible. Students have opportunities to work together with other G/T students, to work together in diverse groups, and to work independently. Flexible grouping is essential.

Millsap Elementary School Gifted/Talented Program

Students identified for General Intellectual Ability in grades K-5 at the elementary campus are serviced within their own classrooms through differentiated instruction. Identified students in grades 1-5 also receive at least 1 hour per week in a pullout program.

Millsap Middle & High School Gifted/Talented Program

Students at the middle school receive services at every grade level daily in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Students at the high school are served in grades nine through twelve daily in language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science.
