About Our School
-
Ligon Gifted and Talented/AIG Basics Magnet Middle School has built its reputation as one of the top middle schools in Wake County. At Ligon, we strive to identify, nurture and develop the unique gifts and talents of our students in a safe and caring environment; to encourage and celebrate diversity in our school programs; and to promote respect and understanding for others. With the help of our supportive community, we have established a tradition of excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts.
Ligon has two magnet themes that operate in tandem: Gifted and Talented and Academically or Intellectually Gifted Basics (AIG) Basics. These programs are integrated throughout the school in core classes as well as a wide variety of elective courses and co-curricular activities.
