Gifted Education
 The Pamlico County School System operates on the belief that we must develop the maximum potential in all of our students. The Gifted Education Program is part of a continuum of services that promotes and supports the academic achievement of all students and which provides appropriate educational opportunities for the intellectually gifted, the creatively talented, and the task-committed child.

The learning needs of students who exhibit gifted behaviors are different from other students of their age, experience, or environment. Realizing that students exhibiting exceptional abilities exist in all cultural and socio-economic groups, we are committed to meeting diverse needs through providing an array of service options. We believe that ongoing staff development in the Gifted Education Program ensures that service options are delivered by qualified personnel and that collaboration among teachers, parents, administrators, and community members can best determine the most effective services for our students.
