College and Career Academies

     Seven Gwinnett high schools—Berkmar, Central Gwinnett, Discovery, Lanier, Meadowcreek, Shiloh, and South Gwinnett—continue to build their college and career academies. The academies give students a preview of potential careers as they learn core subjects through an academic or career-themed lens. Through job shadowing, internships, and project-based learning, students not only learn from experience and collaborate with peers but also have the opportunity to earn money. In fact, during the 2023-24 school year, over 700 students contributed 192,677 intern hours, earning a total of $2,225,861 through career, technical, and agricultural education work-based learning opportunities.
