School for the Talented and Gifted

Welcome to TAG!

The mission of the School for the Talented and Gifted is to provide an environment in which the unique worth, dignity, and abilities of each individual are not only recognized but cultivated and celebrated as well. We wish to provide an educational experience that empowers highly capable students to interact with their intellectual peers in academic, creative, aesthetic, and social endeavors in order to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow and to become life-long learners, responsible citizens, and contributors to the betterment of society as a whole in an ever-changing world. Our mission is also to take our students and provide them with the skills and cultivate their talents so they can accepted to the colleges/universities of their choice with the money to go there and to be successful at those institutions of higher learning.

A Message From Our Principal:

We have finished our first round of applications and we are looking at an enrollment next year of 260 as we have accepted 65 freshmen, 6 sophomores and 4 juniors. We hope to fill our remaining few seats in the junior class in the second round.

We are now entering our preparation for testing as we face the challenges of the TAKS, the STAAR/EOC, and the AP tests. Many of the remaining days of school will be filled with these various standardized tests as well as final exams for the second semester.

We wish to extend our “good luck” to all students as they prepare for and take these exams.
