General Information
The goal of the GCPS Community School program is to extend education and recreation to the community. The Community School is an extension of North Gwinnett High School and reaches out as a basic learning center to meet the various continuing education needs of our community. We strive to serve as a creative, quality community environment committed to developing and providing programs of academic and recreational enrichment for all members of our community.
We offer after-hours classes such as Driver Education, SAT Prep classes. We are always seeking input and suggestions for new Community School classes, so please let us know what you are interested in.
We also offer the community the ability to rent the facilities at the High School and our cluster schools (North Gwinnett Middle School, and Riverside, Level Creek, Suwanee, and Roberts Elementary Schools).
Please let us know how we can help you with your event!
Please contact the Community School for a GCPS Fee Schedule for Facility Rentals.

Driver's Education
Upcoming Driver's Education Classes
We host five classes per year. Our driver's education classes are digital classroom sessions with a live instructor. Classes run from 2:45 - 5:45 PM each afternoon of the session over a 10-day period. Summer classes are 8AM - 3PM over a five-day period. After completing the classroom instruction, students are scheduled with an instructor in one of our vehicles for three, two-hour driving sessions. These sessions are chosen by the student and completed after school or on weekends in the months following the classroom sessions.
The total cost for the course is $450 and students get a completion certificate at the end that helps satisfy Joshua's Law. *There is an $18 cancellation fee deducted from refunds.
All registrations are found under MyPaymentsPlus.
Next Class March 16-27 Monday thru Friday 2:45PM to 5:45PM

Health and PE (1/2 credit courses required for graduation) will be offered online through the NGHS Community School this summer semester to students who have not yet fulfilled the requirements. Each class is a 5 week intensive course designed to cover all Gwinnett County AKS with daily deadlines during the 5 week period.

Please note that these courses are being offered at an extra cost, and they are an intensive format. You may register for one course = $250.00 or both courses = $500.00. Because of the abbreviated length of the course(s), there is a required daily time commitment of several hours. Both courses are completely online and asynchronous. Although all coursework will be completed online, there is no guarantee of access outside of the United States.
Curriculum:
Health: Students are expected to read online content, participate in online discussions, complete writing assignments and take online unit tests. The course covers 16 units of material focusing on wellness, healthy choices, nutrition, physical fitness, systems of the body, mental health, Lifelines, Choosing the Best and eADAP.
PE: Students will create a personal fitness portfolio, complete and track weekly workouts, complete reading assignments and take unit tests.

Facility Requests
Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) is pleased to announce a new online facility request and rental system designed to provide a positive user experience for all. With the new system, reservation requests can be submitted easily and handled more efficiently. Renters will be able to access photos and descriptions, see real-time availability, get estimated quotes and pay online.
In partnering with Facilitron, GCPS has launched custom facility use sites for these clusters: North Gwinnett, Shiloh, Peachtree Ridge, Grayson, Duluth, and Brookwood, and each school within the cluster, allowing facility use requests to be submitted at any time. You can view and request all district facilities at: https://www.facilitron.com/gcps30024. Although the process of requesting/approval/management of facility use is now digital, what’s implemented on Facilitron remains the same as dictated by GCPS’ board policies on facility use. The district’s administrative staff makes final decisions on all facility use requests.
Facilitron will assist with the set-up of organization and user accounts along with verification of non-profit status (if applicable). Facilitron will also collect payment and proof of insurance (certificate of insurance) on GCPS’ behalf. Payments can be submitted conveniently on Facilitron. Payment options include major credit cards, checks, ACH/eCheck, and Paypal. Proof of insurance (certificate of insurance) can also be conveniently uploaded into the system, and/or it can be obtained directly through Facilitron.
The new Facilitron system is now live for all sites. Moving forward, the only way to request use of a district facility is by creating a Facilitron account and submitting a request online. Please visit this link to view an introduction to placing a request. For those who had reservations with GCPS prior to Facilitron, accounts have already been created on your behalf, and an automated email has been sent to you to create a password to access your renter account. If you need any assistance setting up an account and/or in submitting a facility use request, you can contact Facilitron directly at: support@facilitron.com, or by calling them at: 800-272-2962
