AAGC is one of the the reason that Gifted classrooms in Alabama are funded. AAGC members make an impact by challenging legislation to promote the importance of increasing government funding for the Gifted classroom and gifted students. We received more funding in the 2022-2023 school year than ever before. They understand that Gifted Students are one of Alabama's most important resources! You can join AAGC to be a part of making a difference!
