ACHS Mission Possible Students learn a valuable lesson Peggy Workman outlines path for Gifted and Talented to attend college without spending a dime of their own money. Gifted and talented urged to take advantage of as many AP (Advanced Placement) and Dual Credit (HS and College Credit with one course) as they can and to participate as volunteers and in excurricular activities Pam Geisselhardt Gifted/Talented students from both Adair County Middle School and Adair County High School recently learned they should be able to attend the college of their choice, and not pay a dime for the opportunity. Peggy Workman, of the Liberal Arts Academy for Gifted Students at Henry Clay High School in Lexington, KY, met with the students, at the invitation of the Mission: Possible program. She outlined a plan for each grade level. Those who get started the earliest have the easiest path. Ms. Workman stressed, even to the 7th graders, that they are responsible for their own success. She encouraged each student to take the most rigorous courses available, to take advantage of all advanced classes and the many AP courses and dual credit courses offered by our Adair County High School. Students learned that good grades are not enough. They must be involved in volunteer and extracurricular activities. They need to take leadership roles in their school, church, and community. The majority of the students left their meeting with a renewed sense of urgency to "be the best they can be." They definitely learned many valuable helpful hints to reach that goal. That evening Ms. Workman held a parent meeting. She even offered guidance to each individual student's parents in steps they might take to support their child with his/her endeavors to attend the college of his dreams, and not pay a penny in order to do it. - Pam Geisselhardt This story was posted on 2013-08-28 14:55:07
