Welcome to the Gifted/Talented and Enrichment Programs website! Enjoy reading about how NISD identifies and services our high-ability students. Parents and community members are encouraged to join our Advisory Council. It is a wonderful way to contribute to public education and support our bright students. We invite you to share ideas and suggestions on how to improve our GT and Enrichment Programs as well as our website.

District GT/Enrichment Coordinator: Priscilla Lurz, (210) 397-8632

Northside Independent School District's gifted program is based upon Joseph Renzulli's concept of "giftedness," which addresses the student's intellectual ability, creativity, and task commitment. Upon identification, gifted students are offered special services to help them maximize their potential.

Northside Independent School District (Northside ISD) recognizes

  • that all children are entitled to a program of educational experiences which provide opportunities to maximize the development of their capabilities.
  • some children possess talents and abilities which need to be fostered, guided, and developed.

In order to nurture within each individual student a desire for excellence and a sense of responsibility to self and society, Gifted and Talented (G/T) education classes are offered to Northside ISD identified gifted students.
