AGATE’s “Meet the Candidates” night is an annual event. AGATE is a home-school association within the Port Washington School District that works with parents, teachers, administrators and other organizations to advocate for the unique needs of diverse gifted students and other advanced learners from pre-kindergarten through graduation.

At AGATE, we believe all students deserve an appropriate and challenging education designed to help them achieve their fullest potential.
