Gifted & Talented Program

Goal of the Gifted & Talented Program
Dumas ISD students participating in the GT (PEGS) Program will demonstrate skills of self-directed learning, critical thinking, research, communication and collaboration. Students will show evidence of these skills by the development of innovative products and presentations that reflect individuality and creativity and are advanced in relation to students of similar age, experience or environment.
