Mission
Locally identified high ability learners (HALs) benefit from targeted services and opportunities to develop their unique talents and demonstrate consistent growth. High ability learners will have access to a variety of school- and community-based learning experiences and enrichment activities that are also aligned to college and career-ready standards, as well as include families and caregivers as active participants in their programming.
Educators who provide direct support to HAL students should consider these foundational elements related to identification, academic content, programming, and equitable access to opportunities.
