Students thrive when leaders focus on their well-being

Because students at the School for the Highly Gifted in Grand Prairie ISD are ahead of the curve when it comes to academics, people often assume they are emotionally mature.
But they struggle with emotions like any other kid, sometimes expressed through angry outbursts, irritability, feeling low or just shutting down.
As part of The Holdsworth Center’s Campus Leadership Program, school leaders focused on helping students develop coping skills that would help them manage big feelings - not just in school, but in life.
Learn how the school’s strategies made a huge difference for students.
