Gifted Education News:

I am thrilled to formally introduce myself as Thomas Stanley, an 8th-grade ELA teacher and the newly appointed Secondary Advanced Learning Chair for Gifted Education Support at Ola Middle School. It is both a privilege and a joy to embrace this role, and I am genuinely enthusiastic about the collaborative opportunities that lie ahead in our mission to provide exceptional support to our gifted students.

At this juncture of transition, I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Griffis for her remarkable work and unwavering dedication as our former Secondary Advanced Learning Chair. Her contributions have undoubtedly established a strong foundation for our gifted education program, and I am dedicated to building upon her successes as we continue to elevate and enrich the educational experience for our gifted students.
