Students are admitted into the HISD Gifted and Talented (G/T) Program only after they have been identified through gifted and talented testing. All students who are identified as gifted and talented will retain their G/T identification label while enrolled at a HISD campus. No re-testing is required for middle school or high school.
- HISD students who have already been identified as G/T by HISD and currently attend an HISD school do not need testing.
- G/T identified students who leave the district for more than 60 academic days without a G/T furlough must re-submit their G/T paperwork for their G/T label to be reinstated. This includes students returning to HISD from another district or private school. No G/T testing is required.
- Students enrolling in HISD who have previously been identified as G/T by another school district, must submit their G/T paperwork to the G/T coordinator at their HISD campus, for consideration of a G/T label transfer. If approved, the student will not need testing. If not approved, the student will need to participate in G/T testing.
- Students who have not been previously identified as gifted and talented need to participate in G/T testing.
