SPMA 7th grader, Tanner Garren, was honored by the Duke TIP (Talent Identification Program) on May 26, 2010 at Furman University. Tanner scored 1480 on his SAT exam and was the only 7th grader from Hilton Head Island to qualify for state recognition.

“For thirty years, Duke TIP has identified gifted students for their intellectual capacity and honored them for their outstanding achievements. Through our Recognition Ceremonies, we celebrate these achievements and encourage honorees to realize their tremendous academic potential,” says Martha Putallaz, Ph.D., Executive Director of Duke TIP and Professor of Psychology at Duke University.

Congratulations Tanner!
