Families of GATE and high-achieving students gathered for the first-ever Family Support Group, created in response to parents’ advocacy and expressed need for a dedicated space where families could connect, share insights, and seek guidance. Parents’ voices reached our district, and the district responded by establishing this support group as part of its ongoing commitment to nurturing each student’s unique potential.
