PACE

PACE provides advanced learning opportunities for students identified for gifted services. Through rigorous, differentiated instruction, students are challenged to think critically, solve complex problems and explore ideas in greater depth.  Students may be referred by parents, teachers, counselors, administrators, or by the students themselves.

More Information on the PACE program, as well as the online Secondary Testing Referral Application, is available on the Plano ISD Website:

Referral applications for Spring Pace testing must be submitted by January 9th, 2026, at 5:00 pm.

Students will be assessed at their home campus during the regular school day; specific information regarding spring testing dates and times will be made available in early February.
