Registration information for Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology (GSMST) for the 2009-10 freshman class is now available.  Click here to download the registration information.  This information is also found on the GCPS web site (www.gwinnett.k12.ga.us) and on the school web site (www.gsmst.org).  Applications must be submitted by January 23, 2009, for consideration.  GSMST is a charter school and therefore enrollment is open to all current Gwinnett County 8th grade students who complete the 8th grade requirements and who resides in Gwinnett County.  The rigorous course work at GSMST may not meet the needs of all students.  As this is a school of choice, it is highly recommended that parents and students review the GSMST curriculum and learn more about the school's offerings before making a decision to register.
