Quest Gifted Program
The QUEST Gifted Program is provided in grades 2-6. The goal of the program is to provide the students with a rich and rigorous gifted curriculum. Our goal is to satisfy the gifted students' intellectual curiosity. The students are identified for the program by a group screening done in First Grade. Once a student scores a certain percentage, other screening tests are performed. Students may also be referred for testing by a teacher, parent, grandparent, or administrator.
All gifted teachers in the Sunflower County Consolidated School District hold a teaching certification for gifted education.
- Chalayne Burkett serves the gifted students at Moorhead Central School, Carver Elementary, and Lockard Elementary.
- Elizabeth Jefcoat serves the gifted students at AW James Elementary, Ruleville Central Elementary, Drew Hunter Middle School, and Ruleville Middle School.
The gifted classes participate in meaningful research, development of thinking skills, creativity, group dynamics, communication, career discovery, and self-directed learning. The students meet with their gifted teachers for four hours per week.
Mrs. Kenya Proctor-Davis serves as the district gifted coordinator. Mrs. Elizabeth Jefcoat serves as the gifted contact person. If there are any questions about the gifted education program, please call (662) 884-1200 or email kproctor@sunflowerk12.org and ejefcoat@sunflowerk12.org.
