FAQs

Juniors and seniors from any Gwinnett County high school (including the Online Campus) are eligible to attend the Grayson Technical Education Program. Students are required to have successfully completed eight units of credit before applying for the Grayson Technical Education Program during winter registration. Rising juniors and seniors must meet all academic credit requirements for their respective grade level by August 1 in order to be enrolled in a Grayson Technical Education Program.

All Grayson Tech programs are year-long classes.  At the end of the fall semester, students must have successfully passed all classes in order to remain in their program.  Students who have not made sufficient academic progress will be withdrawn and must return to their home school for the remainder of the school year.

Students that attend the afternoon session in the Grayson Technical Education Program will attend periods 1, 2, and 3 (1 and 2 on block) at their home school.

No lunch is provided at the Grayson Technical Education Program. Lunch will be determined by the home school schedule.

Yes! Students can take both an AM and a PM block class at the Grayson Technical Education Program. The student would more than likely need to select programs that offer a different academic embedded credit, and also take a class through the Gwinnett County Online Campus or during Summer School in order to have room in his/her schedule. Staff at the Grayson Technical Education Program can work with interested students to determine what would work for the student’s schedule and plan for graduation.

Bus transportation is provided to and from the student's home school for AM Block students only. Please see your current school counselor or administrator with specific information regarding transportation from local schools.

Some courses that the Grayson Technical Education Programs include are taught at other high schools. If students have earned credit for one of these courses, they will still receive a grade and credit for the course. However, the credit cannot be applied more than once toward graduation requirements. All assignments for that course will still be required and graded, as the program courses are blended and embedded into daily instruction. 

Each program area has at least one embedded academic credit within the program curriculum. Depending on the program, a student may earn language arts or science credit while taking the courses at the Grayson Technical Program.  All classes are Board of Regents approved.
