Cannon County seeks to challenge its gifted and high-achieving students. Although the most effective way to challenge students is through challenging and engaging instruction daily in the regular classroom, Cannon County also has a Teacher of the Gifted who has been trained in how to meet the unique needs of this population. Services for gifted and high-achieving students are provided opportunities to incorporate activities that require creativity, problem-solving, planning, and perseverance. Students qualify to receive these services based on state and standardized test data and additional assessments if needed. If you suspect that your child is in need of services, please contact the Supervisor of Exceptional Learners at 629-201-4801, extension 10110 or julie.vincent@ccstn.net.
