Central Middle School
EPCGT Site Reps
For each of our school sites, we have EPCGT site reps who are members of our board who have volunteered to act as communication liaisons between our group and the gifted staff at their school site, and to provide support for the gifted staff and for any member parents who would like another parent to talk to. Please feel free to contact them; we all understand the need for someone to listen. If you are looking for specific information they don't have, they will do their best to get the answers for you. For contact information of site reps and other board members, please see the Board and Site Reps page.
