The class is offered as an elective. History Day projects involve major research studies that students pursue individually or in small groups. Students might use HyperStudio, or create a performance to share the results of their studies. AP courses and dual enrollment options are offered at the high school. Interested high school students also work in a day care facility that operates at the school.
Internships are available through a special career development class.
If students have a composite achievement test score above the 95th percentile, they are automatically placed into the Talent Pool. The second phase of screening, teacher nomination, also results in an automatical placement in the Talent Pool. The third method of screening includes a parent or self nomination, an interview with the student, and an individual IQ assessment, if appropriate. After a case study is conducted a determination is made regarding program participation. These students receive Type I and II training and are encouraged to complete a Type III study based on their interests.
