The 47th Annual Convention of the National Association for Gifted Children was conducted in Atlanta recently and one of Fayette County's most famed educators won an award.

Dr. Bob Covel, a teacher at Starr's Mill High School and a former teacher at McIntosh High School, won the NAGC Curriculum Award, given annually to the outstanding curriculum project for gifted students. Covel developed a unit entitled "Heroes: A Humanities Approach."

More than 4,000 educators from across the nation and eight foreign nations participated in the NAGC convention. The organization develops policies and practices that encourage the diverse expressions of the nation's three million gifted children from all cultures, ethnic backgrounds and socioeconomic groups.
