9th Graders Class of 2028

The 9th Grade Academy will provide a positive learning environment that helps 9th grade students transition successfully into high school by meeting their academic, social, and emotional needs. We believe that all students can be successful, and we are committed to working hard to help all 9th grade students learn and achieve. Our goal is for ALL of our 9th graders to earn 6 credits this year and graduate on time in May of 2029! We are committed to providing your student with meaningful learning experiences and are so excited to have your student here with us this year!

Note: The 9th Grade Academy is located on the 2nd floor of E Hall. The 9th Grade Academy will house all four of the core content areas for freshmen (Math, Science, Language Arts, and Social Studies).

Parent Information

Parent Square

We are excited to announce that our school district has adopted a new form of school-to-home communication called ParentSquare. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with your child’s school and Gwinnett County Public Schools.

ParentSquare provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to receive and send information, such as:

Weather-related closings & delays 
School and class information
Share pictures and files
See calendar items
Upcoming class activities

District and school information will now be sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text via ParentSquare. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices). 

For more information, you can go to the GCPS webpage.
