The Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students indicates five categories of giftedness: general intellectual ability, specific academic aptitude, creativity, leadership, and visual/performing arts. Mission CISD serves students who are currently identified as advanced intellectually and academically. Their giftedness may surface as an outstanding aptitude in one or more of the areas of language arts, math, science, social studies, or in their ability to process information more rapidly with greater depth and complexity. MCISD is committed to meeting the needs of all the children in its schools, including those of high academic/intellectual ability whose needs may not be met by the regular curriculum.

Program Goals

The goals for the MCISD Gifted/Talented Program enable students to become well-rounded individuals whose education allows them opportunities to grow in their areas of giftedness.
