BCGT is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization of parents and educators whose common purpose is to continually enhance the Extended Services program in Barrington District 220 by serving as a resource and advocate for gifted students, their families and faculty.
Creating a community for students and their families
We host several events during the school year, including Game Night, Science Night, Career Exploration nights and others. Please contact us if you would like to volunteer or get involved in our community.
Supporting teachers who make a difference
The majority of our membership fees go towards grants for our extended programs and classrooms. This includes academic competitions and events, software, supplies and furniture for classrooms.
Become a member
Members get free admission to events, can join our community online forum and help fund grants. We meet monthly to discuss upcoming events, various topics and share updates in extended services in district 220.
Support BCGT
We strive to help lift our high ability students, unlock a world of possibilities for students and open pathways to economic opportunity for the most resilient careers of tomorrow. Barrington Council for the Gifted and Talented can only operate with the support of our generous donors and volunteers.
"Talent is given to us by our nature. Greatness, by our efforts.”
