S.U.M.M.I.T.

(Services for Unlimited Multi-Talented Minds and Inspiring Talents)


Welcome to the Warren County Public Schools Gifted and Talented Website! We are delighted with your interest in services for gifted students.  The old adage that special people have special needs has never been more accurate than it is today.  The S.U.M.M.I.T. program is designed to offer these special students a continuing experience of support, challenge and success.  From primary through high school, students are encouraged to maximize their abilities and prepare for a wide range of opportunities.  We are proud of the hard work and dedication of the district and school teams that we have assembled to help these special students reach their full potential.  Together, we can help our gifted and talented students to reach their own S.U.M.M.I.T. of excellence!
