The 2010-2011 school year was another tremendous year for the Gifted program at Susquenita High School. This year, a major addition to the program was the addition of a "resource period," in which Gifted students could schedule an elective period to work on projects of interest. Some of our projects this year included: creating posters on physical therapy, creating an environmental awareness website, creating educational science videos, designing a house, writing a novel, and tracing family lineage. Students rated the experience as positive, and recieved a grade and credit for their efforts in class.

This year the Gifted program continued to offer extracurricular activities that have been successful in the past. This year's competitors in the Junior Achievement Titan Challenge program learned about business principles from a community volunteer and applied their knowledge to an interactive game. Two of our students, Mike Ether and Chris Eppley, won first place at the regional competition and won a $1000 scholarship each. Junior Achievement also provided volunteers and materials for a "success skills" program in which students worked together to identify and understand the importance of having a quality skill set. SHS also competed in the Knowledge Master Open, participated in a "surgery live!" event, and more.

Best of luck to our graduating seniors--we expect great things in the future!
