Lake Highlands resident and Zion Lutheran 7th grader, Stefan Oddsson, was recently recognized by Duke University’s Talent Identification Program (TIP).  Candidates must be in the top 5% of students statewide in order to receive an invitation to participate.  Qualifying students take the SAT test at a local high school and must score between 500-560 on both the Math and the Critical Reading portions – a remarkable achievement for 7th graders.  Only 25% of invited students meet minimum scores and are subsequently accepted into Duke’s TIP which identifies academically talented students and provides innovative programs to support the development of their optimal educational potential.
