Midway ISD believes that students identified as gifted/talented show a passion for learning, solve problems in unique ways, and require support from professionals who are sensitive to gifted students' individual learning needs. We believe that services for the gifted must focus on learning strengths to foster their abilities to work successfully both alone and with other gifted/talented students, as well as cooperatively with all students. Gifted and Talented students come from all races, socio-economic strata, geographic locales, and environments. They exhibit unique needs and have unusual abilities and talents, which merit recognition and nurturing.
