A blanket screening of all first grade students in the Noxubee County School District is conducted each spring in an effort to identify potential gifted students.  Referrals for the gifted program can be made throughout the school year by contacting the Teacher of the Gifted (contact information listed below) or a child’s classroom teacher.
