Our talented Quest students from all the elementary schools and both middle schools showcased the incredible projects they've been working on throughout the year. From the robotics team giving driving lessons in preparation for the world competition at the end of April, to underwater robotics, LEGO STEAM, community projects, Macey Day balloon creations, chess tournments, fingerprint exploration, and steps to publishing - the creativity and hard work on display were truly inspiring!
We were thrilled to have our Gifted Advocacy Board Members, principals, central office staff, parents, and community members join us to celebrate our students' achievements. A huge thank you to everyone who made this event possible! Your support makes a difference! 💙✨

Bayou View Middle School students have been making the most of an unforgettable week in Washington, D.C.!
This incredible trip has truly brought their 7th-grade U.S. History lessons to life. Throughout the week, especially on Thursday, students experienced several “aha” moments as they connected what they’ve learned in the classroom to real-world history right before their eyes.
A highlight of the trip was time spent on Capitol Hill, where students toured the U.S. Capitol and had the opportunity to meet with Mississippi Senators Roger Wicker and Cindy Hyde-Smith. They shared insights about their work, their commitment to Mississippi, and how their efforts directly impact communities like Gulfport.
One especially meaningful moment came when a member of Senator Wicker’s staff asked where the group was from. When students shared they were from Bayou View Middle School, she lit up—proudly sharing she was once a student there and a graduate of Gulfport High School! Haley Warren (Class of 2021) reminded everyone of the lasting impact of the Gulfport School District and the strong connections that come full circle.
Experiences like this inspire our students to see the possibilities ahead and understand the role they can play in shaping the future.
