Gifted students are those who by virtue of outstanding abilities are capable of high academic performance in the classroom. Twenty five percent of the students associated with the Special Education Department at the West are identified as gifted and participate in our gifted program. This program provides these students with alternative educational experiences outside of the regular classroom. Through student seminars, guest speakers, trips and a variety of ongoing activities an attempt is made to provide students with as wide a base of knowledge and experience as possible. There is also an emphasis on providing the opportunity to graduate students to complete a resume and portfolio to facilitate post secondary applications and scholarship opportunities.
