A volunteer from the Board reads the Stargate Mission:

Stargate School will provide a differentiated program designed specifically to meet the needs of identified intellectually gifted learners in order to challenge each student’s academic abilities, support their unique emotional needs, promote individual character development and encourage a life-long love of learning.

Executive Director and/or Board Members may highlight special contributions or achievements of members of our community (students, staff, volunteers).  (Optional participation)
