The gifted program holds a special place in my heart. I have attended the gifted program at LCCTC from the time is was in fourth grade until now(twelfth grade.) Although to time spent as an elementary student was vital as outlet for many gifted students, I believe the high school program is much more required. By this time in our lives we have developed beyond our elementary selves, needing the gifted program more than ever. The assistance provided to us in our journey through high school gives us a more hopeful future. I feel as though I have been prepared for the years to come through training I would not receive at my local school. The one on one attention provided to me was phenomenal. By taking away the program from LCCTC, one would take away the chance of a high school student to feel the reassurance I have been given in that I will succeed in my future endeavors. I will be moving away to college this year and I would not be affected by this change so why do I care? I care because I want each and every gifted student like myself to have a place where they can come, grow, learn, and interact with students like them. In high school every student is trying to find his or her place, the gifted program at the tech school gives student the opportunity to find themselves and grow and realize there are more students from across the county that are just like them. The LCCTC gifted program gave me a sense of belonging and a chance I would not be able to receive again.

My kids are in the gifted program and have been since 3 rd grade. They are Senior and sophomore. They have learned a lot from this program and I can't see why anybody would want to do away with it.

The gifted program has been instrumental in my college readiness as well as my future readiness in general. My teacher has taken the time to register us to vote, and spent countless hours teaching us what to expect in college, among a multitude of other things.

Please keep the Gifted Program! It helped me beyond belief throughout my high school career, and even in college. Being a college student about to attend graduate school, I do not advise disbanding the Enrichment Program. After graduating from a Limestone County school, the Enrichment Program readied me more for college than my home school did.

Yes. Many tech classes are not available to 9th graders as they cannot get proper higu school credits while doing them. This would keep them from joining the robotics team if they couldn't go to gifted at tech. Also, the experience at tech allows students to connect with students from around the county and establish lasting friendships between members of separate schools.

My daughter has been in gifted since elementary school. It has challenged her when routine classes were not always enough. Her high school gifted teachers have provided tremendous support for her and guided her through her college planning more than any homeschool counselors.

I am currently a senior in the program and if it were not for gifted (middle school and high school specifically) I would not be on the track that I am today.

My friends are in the gifted program, and it has done wonderful things for them. Please don't take that away from these kids.
