}}North Gwinnett High School is a public high school outside the city limits of Suwanee, Georgia, United States. It is part of the district Gwinnett County Public Schools.[1] The superintendent of the district is J. Alvin Wilbanks and the school's principal is Nathan Ballantine.[1]

History

North Gwinnett High School was established in 1958.[5] It was built in a former cotton field between the communities of Suwanee and Sugar Hill for the purpose of consolidating the two communities' separate high schools, Suwanee High School and Sugar Hill High School. The land for the school was donated by the estate of Tom Robinson, for whom the NGHS football field is named.[6]

In its early years, NGHS was a small school. In 1960, the school served grades 8 through 12 and there were 328 students enrolled.[6] The eighth grade was eliminated after a new middle school was built during the 1973-1974 school year. By that year, NGHS had 606 students. The school grew dramatically in subsequent decades. Enrollment reached 1,000 for the first time in the 1988-1989 school year, and has reached over 2,800.[6] For the 2011-2012 school year, enrollment was 2,670.[7] As of 2018-2019, enrollment is reported as 2,846 students.

North Gwinnett High School figured in Franklin v. Gwinnett County Public Schools (503 US 60 - Supreme Court 1992), a U.S. Supreme Court case that was decided in 1992. A female student at the school accused a teacher of sexual harassment and sued the school district for monetary damages for not stopping the harassment after she complained to school authorities. The federal district court ruled that Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, under which she sued, did not allow for monetary damages. The appeals court affirmed that ruling, but the Supreme Court overturned that decision. The Supreme Court found that Title IX does allow for monetary damages, thus returning the student's case to lower courts.[8][9]

Mentorship

Every student at NGHS is provided with an upperclassmen mentor.[1] Students have "Advisement Lessons" with their mentor on Wednesdays.[1] Freshmen at NGHS are also given student mentors.[1]

Awards

In 2009, North Gwinnett High School received the silver award for the Single Statewide Accountability System.[10] In 2010, the Department of Education named the school as one of the Advanced Placement Honors Schools.[10]

Student life

School activities include athletics, clubs, and leadership groups such as the NGHS Beta Society, Student Council, Quiz Bowl, HOSA and Relay for Life. The school's football team won the 2017 State Championship Class AAAAAAA.[11]
