Gallatin seventh grader Cameron King, son of Eric and Lucinda King, has qualified for state recognition in the Duke University Talent Identification Program. The 2004 recognition ceremony will be held at Drury University in Springfield on May 28.
The Duke University Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) identifies gifted children and provides a whole range of activities and programs to parents and teachers to meet the individual needs of these exceptionally bright youngsters.
The Talent Search identifies academically talented seventh graders based on standardized test scores achieved while attending elementary or middle school. Candidates are identified and invited to complete either the SAT I: Reasoning Test or the ACT Assessment college entrance examination. Duke TIP then provides the participants with comparative information concerning their academic abilities.
Cameron qualified in the math category of the ACT exam, which requires a minimal score of 20. A student qualifying for state recognition is in the top 25% of the talent search pool.
The talent search, is now beginning its twenty-fourth year and is the largest program of its kind in the nation, representing participation from 6,150 junior high and middle schools in the Duke TIP 16-state region. Over one million students have completed the Talent Search since its inception in 1980.
