Welcome to the Wheat Ridge High School Gifted and Talented Center Page!

We are a Gifted and Talented Center at the High School level, which is based on the Autonomous Learner Model. We work to improve our students' skills in autonomy, self-advocation skills, their passions, and social-emotional support. We are based at a school that has a full class load of AP and Honors options. Our center is designed to support students in these classes, or whichever types of classes they choose to be a part of; whether they're taking a full advanced class load, or need support in their day-to-day life, our students span many portions of what a high schooler can be.

Important Dates and Upcoming Events:

• Friday, September 27th 2019 - Sunday, September 29th 2019 = Annual GT Fall Retreat!
  • Our retreat this year will be MUCH earlier, falling on the last weekend of September. This will be a weekend up at YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, filled with fun activities, bonfires, and student-created competitions. Our theme this year is ESCAPE ROOM! More details will be given at Back to School Night, as well as during class.

Ongoing Events:

• Throughout the Year: Fundraising Dates!
  • This year, we have our fundraising dates throughout the year, in order to raise money for next year's Retreat. Instead of trying to fundraise a couple months before the retreat happens, we will now have the whole school year! Please be on the lookout for more fundraisers to be added as the year progresses.
