ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS COMMITTEE
The objective of this committee is to enhance the enrichment programs offered to TAG students. The committee assesses existing enrichment opportunities for students, identifies gaps, and focuses on greatest needs. The committee then organizes around specific programs (e.g., chess, physical education, language, etc.) to research the needs for enrichment programs, develop strategies for bringing the program to TAG, and find organizations that specifically address the goals of that program. This is great committee to join if you are interested in finding ways to make our scholars well-rounded.
