What The Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology (GSMST) does

The Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology (GSMST) is a public magnet high school operated by Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS), located at 970 McElvaney Lane in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Founded in 2007, GSMST delivers a STEM-focused college-preparatory curriculum to students in grades 9-12 through a lottery-based selective admissions process, drawing applicants from across Gwinnett County. The school's product surface comprises four grade-level academic programs (9th-12th Curriculum), fine arts (visual arts and music), health and physical education, counseling services including ACT/SAT preparation and dual-enrollment advising, academic support and tutoring, and a media center (SRC), supplemented by a Partnership Program that offers internships and external collaboration opportunities.

Technically, GSMST's core offering is a STEM-focused curriculum emphasizing mathematics, science, and technology, delivered via standard public-school district infrastructure. The school holds Cognia accreditation through GCPS and has been recognized as the #1 high school in Georgia by US News and World Report and named to the 2026 AP Honors Schools List by the Georgia Department of Education. Leadership consists of Principal Logan Malm; faculty recognition includes Hannah Sharpe as the 2027 Teacher of the Year.

GSMST operates as a public educational institution rather than a commercial entity. It generates no revenue in the conventional sense; funding flows from GCPS district budgets, state allocations, and taxpayer dollars, with no tuition charged to enrolled students. Its "go-to-market" is a community-led lottery admissions system supported by PTSA engagement, internship partnerships, and multi-channel outreach across Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, the GCPS website, and ParentSquare. The school's primary customers are Gwinnett County students seeking rigorous STEM preparation for college and STEM careers, served exclusively within the regional Southeast U.S. market.
