    Dear Parents:

     

    Eastern Regional High School is proud to inform you of its 4-year comprehensive Gifted & Talented Program.  Our district offers students Advanced Placement courses in the academic and performing disciplines as well as an elective series of interdisciplinary courses entitled Gifted and Talented Seminar.  Eastern’s GT program is based on the School-wide Enrichment Model developed by Dr. Joseph Renzulli of the University of Connecticut National Center for Gifted Education.  An outline of our 4-year program is included. 

     

    We believe that intelligence is not a unitary concept; therefore, single definitions cannot be used to explain the complicated concept.  Understanding that there is often a limited relationship between test scores and real world accomplishments, we open our program to students who demonstrate well above average ability, task commitment and creativity.  We direct our efforts toward developing gifted behaviors in our students.

     

    The Gifted & Talented program offers:

             Model U.N. Conferences at local high schools and regional universities

             Field Trips to cultural and historical places

             Leadership workshops

             On-site and off-site speaker events

             Service Learning opportunities

             Partnerships with schools in Malawi and Uganda

               

    We invite you to consider having your child tested for our GT program.  This is the FINAL opportunity to qualify for 2024 Fall admission to the GT program.  There is no makeup date.

     

    Students who participated in the November 2023 test administrations are not eligible to retest at this time.
