Hi Jay,
Here's some links to look at:

The School for the Talented and Gifted at the Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center (commonly referred to as TAG or TAG Magnet) is a college preparatory magnet secondary school in the Dallas Independent School District.
[edit] History
TAG Magnet was originally located at L. G. Pinkston High School. In the 1990s, DISD allocated money for a new "magnet center" as an experiment in accelerated high school education. This magnet center would house six different schools, each which offer college-preparatory and pre-professional programs alongside a solid academic education. Initially, TAG students were taught alongside the students at the other magnet schools. But after it threatened the existence of TREK because of lack of supervising teachers, TAG was given permission to have their own teaching staff that was specialized in talented and gifted teaching methods for the classroom.
[edit] Awards
TAG was ranked by Newsweek's Jay Mathews Challenge Index as the #1 high school of the United States in 2006.
TAG is consistently rated #1 by D Magazine's Best Public High Schools in Dallas.
TAG is a Blue Ribbon School.
Best Wishes
