Creighton Middle School

Jeffco Public Schools

The GT Center team is uniquely qualified to meet the social and emotional needs of gifted learners. All core classes are taught by CDE GT-endorsed teachers, most of whom also have a Master’s degree in their field. The GT Center program also offers unique opportunities for students to explore their passions in hands-on electives that are taught by experienced, engaging teachers. GT teachers and students are supported by a full-time counselor who specializes in working with gifted learners, a Social Emotional Learning Specialist, and the GT Resource Teacher

In 7th and 8th grade, students stay with the same teacher for 2 years, allowing teachers to get to know their students both on an academic and personal level. Looping also helps build strong teacher/student/parent relationships.
