Congratulations to Stacy Bingham, Brittany Bailey, Lasheka Gulley and Daniel Marlar for being invited to participate in Duke University Talent Identification Program. Students must have high scores on the SAT to be eligible for this honor. Students who participate will be given opportunity to take the ACT. This is a wonderful opportunity for these seventh graders. Good Luck. Thanks to the teachers who have provided instruction and the parents who have supported these students!
