I alternate schools every Friday. However, there are certain occasions that necessitate changing the normal rotation. Check the calendar to ensure you know I will be on campus when you need to speak to me.
Students should join the Google Classroom using the button below to be kept up to date on available competitions and leadership opportunities as well as local and school-specific scholarships that are available. Many of these apply to seniors, but there are opportunities for 9th-11th students as well.
Parent Advocacy for Gifted Students
Parent Advocacy for Gifted Students
The establishment of this NHCS Gifted Advisory Council is a requirement of the school board and state-approved New Hanover County Schools Gifted Education Improvement Plan. Specifically, the Council monitors the timely and accurate implementation of all components of AIG, advocates, communicates and liaises with business and the community at large with respect to AIG, and presents, advises, and makes recommendations to the New Hanover Board of Education with respect to the improvement of the overall AIG program at the district level in a NHCS AIG Program Annual Report. Please refer to the NHCS Gifted Advisory Council Bylaws for additional information about the role of the GAC member.
The NHCS Gifted Advisory Council also requests that each school select a liaison to attend GAC meetings. A liaison can be a teacher, parent, or community member. The role and attendance of the liaison may be shared by two people at the school. The liaison’s responsibilities include: meeting attendance, sharing meeting notes and relevant issues with the school, as well as advocating for gifted education. If you are interested in serving as a school GAC liaison please reach out to the Gifted Education Specialist at the school you are interested in representing.

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction has mandated six AIG Standards in NC. Each school district writes an AIG Plan that addresses how the district will address each AIG standard. The AIG Plan must be updated/revised/rewritten every three years. Our current AIG plan is for 2025-2028. Every Gifted Education Specialist, along with the school administration, creates a plan on how the school will address the six standards and the current AIG Plan to meet the needs of advanced learners. The AIG Plan is approved by the NHCS Board of Education and is board policy. It is also approved by the North Carolina State Board of Education. You may access our current Local AIG Plan for 2025-2028 by clicking this link.
