Mission

The Tornillo ISD’s goal for K-12 G/T students is to ensure that services are comprehensive, structured, sequenced, and appropriately challenging, including options in the four foundation curricular areas, arts, leadership, and creativity as outlined in TEC 29.121 and the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students.
