Rilee Moser, the 7th-grade daughter of Scott Moser of Bulverde and Susan Whittington of Johnson City and granddaughter of Norman and Mary Moser of Cleburne, recently qualified for participation in this year’s Talent Search for mathematically and verbally advanced students sponsored by Duke University’s Talent Identification Program.
To be eligible, students must have a scale score of 2864, a perfect score, on TAKS math and/or a scale score of 2820, a perfect score, on the reading section of the TAKS.

TIP, established in 1980, has provided thousands of students with information about their abilities and educational options. The purposes of the program are to help academically bright student develop their special abilities, to assist schools in working with their brightest students, and to understand the nature of exceptional mathematical and verbal ability.
