Tri-County ESC Gifted Enrichment Programs for Students
The Tri-County Educational Service Center (ESC) has a pyramid of direct services for students in grades one through twelve. The services range from enrichment programs with broad curriculum content in the arts, math, science, social studies, language arts and technology. High school educational option credit courses are offered with an intense curriculum focus and in-depth field experience.
