OUR HISTORY

SAGT was initially an independent group of parent volunteers who wanted to join together to support the academic needs of their gifted children. When our group originally organized in 2001 it was named Southlake Parents for Academic Excellence (SPACE). Read an interview with our founding President, Christine Smith CLICK HERE. In 2009 our name was changed and we were recognized by CISD as an official district Gifted and Advanced Academic Booster Club.
