    Selection committees are composed of teachers, counselors, administrators, and when necessary, outside professionals in various fields, as well as the Teacher-Coordinator of the Program for the Gifted & Talented. Final selections are made based on the results of this screening procedure. Overall, emphasis is placed on the generally applicable areas of above average ability, creativity, and task commitment.
