Mission Statement
Our schools are committed to making all students first priority. We strive to provide open communication among administration, faculty, students, and parents of the high expectations set forth by the East Poinsett County School District. A data driven standards based curriculum, enhanced with technology will prepare students for an ever changing world. All students will be provided with problem solving skills to ensure college and career readiness.
Philosophy
The East Poinsett County School District recognizes that gifted and talented students are those youth of high potential whose educational needs and learning characteristics require different educational experiences and/or services. We believe that young people are our greatest natural resource and that an appropriate education must be provided in order that each student has an opportunity to reach his/her full potential.
Gifted and talented students are those identified by professionally qualified persons, who by virtue of their creativity, intelligence, and commitment to tasks, and/or who require differentiated educational programs in order to fully realize their contribution to self and society.
The ultimate goal of the East Poinsett County School District’s Gifted & Talented Education Program is to design and implement appropriate program options for gifted and talented students so that they develop a desire for excellence and a sense of responsibility to self and society following the State sanctioned G/T Standards.
***Each gifted and talented program across the state is unique. All programs have mandated state standards which insure quality and fairness in the administering of the programming, but each individual school district has the freedom to customize its program to meet the needs of participating students and the community.
