Gifted Education : 10th Grade
Recent Activity
Tenth grade seminars focus on the theme of science this year. For more information, please refer to the syllabus.
For Students Interested in the Gifted Program
If you are interested in being evaluated for eligibility to participate in the gifted program, please see the general information page for gifted education to obtain referral and permission forms for evaluation.
Seminar Dates and Topics
Students will attend seminars during the physical activity portion of their HPE classes and will typically be pulled from class for the period as a group with other students in the same section. Students not enrolled in HPE II will attend seminars during the elective that they and their parents choose. The calendar “windows” for each seminar are listed below. The resource teachers will work directly with the classroom teachers for each seminar, so students will not generally receive passes ahead of time.
