Student Testimonials

"Teachers really know the best ways to teach gifted students, who have different ways of learning or processing information. Gifted learners have a small community and always feel welcome and accepted." P.C. 

"The teachers are very sweet and extremely flexible and understanding when it comes to the gifted mindset." A.D. 

"All of the teachers here that I’ve met have been really helpful, they’ve helped me further my skills, give me new techniques for skills I already had, as well as help me when I struggle with a topic. They genuinely have helped my learning and growth as a student. They give good advice on ways of improvement as well as on assignments, so I know how I can improve!"  G.S.

DVUSD Gifted Student Leadership Council

Leadership in Action.  Deer Valley Gifted Services is proud to continue our legacy of excellence through the Gifted Student Leadership Council (GSLC). The council provides an intentional, collaborative space for gifted learners to shape the future of DVUSD programming by sharing their unique insight and experiences. By centering student voices, we ensure our programs evolve to meet the academic and affective needs of every learner.

Beyond advocacy, the GSLC serves as a premier leadership hub. Members connect with peers across all DVUSD high schools, build vital leadership skills, and drive meaningful engagement directly on their home campuses.
