Gifted Education District Mission Statement
The Menasha Joint School District believes that a student with gifts and talents is one who demonstrates high performance or possesses the capability to perform at a high level of competence in intellectual, creative, artistic, leadership, or specific academic areas. Because giftedness is dynamic and fluid, as well as both innate and learned, the needs of gifted students vary over time and across areas. All children, including advanced learners, are entitled to an education that provides access to an appropriate level of challenge in order to realize their potential. Programming for gifted students may look different, at times, from chronological peers. The individual needs of the students shall help determine the programming options to be offered that are designed to nurture development and maximize potential.
