Revised 9/17/2020 

At Tucson Unified, we recognize that gifted students have special educational needs that should be met within the context of educating the whole child through a variety of services and options. The role of the Gifted Education program is to:

• Identify the particular abilities and needs of these students.
• Challenge students functioning at the highest level of ability.
• Encourage underachieving students who are capable of the highest performance.
• Promote higher level creative and productive thinking skills throughout the district.
• Promote creative or productive achievement.
