Fourteen students from Hal Peterson Middle School participated in the Duke Talent Search testing, resulting in four students receiving state recognition for their high scores. Seventh grade students who met the criteria of 876 or above on the Math test, and/or 860 on the Reading/ELA test on their 6th grade TAKS in 2011 were invited to take the SAT.

The Center program is offered on different university campuses across the nation including Trinity University. One student, Gilbert Badillo, scored high enough to qualify for a three week enrichment program called the Academy for Summer Studies.
