Gifted students have many opportunities to have their unique learning needs met at NHS through honors, AP, and College Credit Plus courses. Below is a table that explains which classes provide gifted service. If students who are identified as gifted choose NOT to take one of these courses, they will be waiving their opportunity for gifted service.

Gifted students who are interested in coursework that is not provided at NHS can also take classes through the College Credit Plus option. These courses, if they match a student’s area of identification, are also considered gifted service.
A student who is identified as superior cognitive ability or gifted in creative thinking can be challenged through any of the above courses. Due to negotiations with area colleges and universities, legislature changes, and enrollment, the College Credit Plus courses are subject to change at any point prior to the first day of school.
