MERIT

THOMAS COUNTY SCHOOLS

PROGRAM OF STUDY

Students and parents who are interested in Thomas County Schools’ MERIT program (Maximizing Education to Realize Intellectual Transformation) are invited to an informational meeting on February 19th at 6:00 PM in the Thomas County Middle School cafeteria. Thomas County Schools, through the MERIT program of study, offers the most comprehensive and flexible academic options for gifted and accelerated study in our area.

The purpose of MERIT is to challenge students to achieve their maximum academic potential while providing a supportive learning environment for advanced study and recognition for outstanding academic achievement. The program allows MERIT students to be part of the same exploratory or elective schedule as their peers who are not in the accelerated program as well as continue to participate in all aspects of school life including fine arts, athletics, extracurricular, and social functions.

Students are eligible for MERIT beginning in the fifth grade. If you would like to know more about MERIT, please feel free to join us on the 19th of February.
