HTMS students chosen for Duke University TIP

Each year, Duke TIP (Talent Identification Program) identifies a group of academically talented students nationwide based on their exceptional grade-level standardized test scores.

Only those who score at or above the 95th percentile qualify. Those students are invited to participate in the 7th Grade Talent Search and to take the ACT or SAT, which are designed for college-bound 11th and 12th graders. Taking an above-grade-level test is an experience that allows these gifted 7th graders to more accurately gauge their academic abilities and potential, as they need more advanced examinations than they find in their grade level.

Participants in the 7th Grade Talent Search also receive a variety of support services and gain access to research and other information about using their academic abilities more effectively.

The following students have been invited to join the Duke University Talent Identification Program’s prestigious 7th Grade Talent Search: Elizabeth Allison, Katherine Andreae, James Auvil, Michael Christopoulos, John Copus, Richard Davis, Savannah Day, Peter Dimler, Hadley Ekonen, Kaylee Rose Elrod, Alex Georgia, Elliott Greene, Ruth Gregory, Hannah Harbison, Alec Heslop, Joel Himes, Drennan Jones, Tyler Maronge, Elizabeth Morris, Ava Njoroge, Addison Olive, Sarah Partain, Shaylan Patel, Chaney Peters, Beck Petersen, Mia Sellers, Cody Serena, Abigail Wideman, Meredith Willingham and Ramsey Wilson.
