​Gifted Course Highlights

This site is dedicated to the FBHS and YHS Gifted program taught by Julianne French. There are three major components to the gifted class: arts & humanities enrichment curricula, a focus on gifted traits & personal goal setting, and a focus on college & career research.  Over four years, students study the expanse of history with an emphasis devoted to the art, literature, music and philosophy of the time period.  Showcased on this site are Gifted students' creations from class pertaining to their Humanities curriculum.  

​Whatever you can do
or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, & magic in it.
​ ​
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
