Every year SAGT offers events and opportunities for adults and students to learn and grow together.
During this annual exclusive event, SAGT DaVinci and Einstein Members had the opportunity to learn more about CISD's GT programming, ask questions and meet and mingle with CISD teachers and Executive Director of Curriculum.
College Applications can be overwhelming - so we are immensely grateful to our amazing panelists who spent their time demystifying the process and sharing important tips.

She then covered building foundations, elementary school strategies that work, middle school parent strategies, preparing for Independence for the high school and high school success strategies.

The 2025 school year kicked off with our annual Study Skills Sessions. Students learned tips and tricks to get the new school year off to a great start and had a chance to ask questions of students who were in their place not long ago. The two sessions were a great success thanks to our amazing teacher, Leslie Andre, and our student panelists.
SAGT held a back-to-school lunch to celebrate our teachers as we start the 2025-2026 school year.
Special thanks to our wonderful members!
