      GSMST

      The lottery application process for the 2020-2021 Freshman Class is now open.

      The mission of The Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology (GSMST) is to nurture the talents and high potential of all students through a unique, challenging, and integrated curriculum with a focus on mathematics, science, and technology that will result in a world-class education. At GSMST, a student will discover a school that fosters the development of a life-long learner through the use of a unique curriculum, real-world relevance, and meaningful relationships.

      The Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology offers students an opportunity to study in three broad areas of focus: bioscience, engineering, and emerging technologies. These three key pillars mirror emerging career areas in Gwinnett County. GSMST is immersed in developing partnerships and initiatives with business and industry, higher education, and the public school system. Our curriculum will situate our students to compete in today’s global market and allow them to pursue infinite opportunities in the future.

      Eligibility
      GSMST accepts all qualified, eligible students as chosen by random lottery.  Students who are currently in eighth grade during the 2019-2020 academic year will be able to begin the lottery registration process starting Friday, November 1, 2019.  [Students in ninth grade or above and students in seventh grade and below are not eligible to begin the lottery registration process.]  The lottery drawing will take place on Tuesday, February 11, 2020, in the board room of the district's Instructional Support Center (ISC) located at 437 Old Peachtree Road in Suwanee, Georgia at 9:00 AM. Although there is no requirement for parents to attend the lottery drawing, the drawing is open to the public. Prior to the lottery drawing, all qualified, eligible applicants will receive notification of his or her assigned lottery number. All lottery numbers will be drawn and posted in the order drawn. Students with numbers in the first 375 spots will be notified via USPS at the address entered on the application form. The remaining numbers will comprise the waiting list in the order drawn.
