Community Schools

Vision: The Office of Community Schools will partner with schools, communities, and external partners to co-design intentional solutions to school-identified problems. 

Mission: The community schools for each cluster will work collaboratively with students and families, connecting them with community partners who can provide the educational and recreational programs, support, and services they need to be successful.

The goal of the GCPS Community School program is to extend education and recreation in the community. Participation is encouraged for all age groups in Gwinnett County. Public and private agencies, as well as civic organizations, are invited to work within the community education framework in an attempt to provide maximum services to the citizens of Gwinnett County. Community Schools shall maximize the use of all their existing facilities. Each Community School has a director who facilitates all cluster after-school activities and is available to help you and your organization coordinate a plan. Please follow the Community Schools Coordinator link, then select a school logo representing your student's cluster for more information. 

GCPS' Community Schools have a long-standing partnership with Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation, which provides meals to students during the summer and at summer camp programs.
