We believe in excellence.

Students are challenged to:

• Acquire and integrate knowledge

• Extend and refine knowledge

• Use knowledge meaningfully

• Develop intellectual habits or dispositions that can last a lifetime

We encourage every student to read 15-30 minutes everyday.  

Our program provides an intensive educational program for identified TAG students. TAG students are expected to display a depth of knowledge, curiosity, and perceptiveness. Students must maintain a 2.0 G. P. A. to remain in the program.

The TAG teachers develop lesson plans that promote higher order thinking skills and encourage students to become lifelong learners.

Below are philosophers' students working in the media center.
