Gifted and Talented Program

Gifted and Talented students in Edna ISD are defined as those students who, by virtue of outstanding mental abilities, are capable of high performance and demonstrate above-average achievement and potential in general intellectual ability and specific subject-matter aptitude. Our GT program serves students who are gifted in general intellectual ability. Students in the GT program receive enrichment in the classroom and are required to complete extra projects and assignments during Enrichment time scheduled for each grade level. Please contact the school for more information at 361-782-2953.
