The Principal of Gwinnett Online Campus, Dr. Christopher Ray, spoke to the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville at their noon meeting on November 17. After extolling the virtues and achievements of Gwinnett County in general, he focused on a major accomplishment of the prize-winning Gwinnett Public School System, the charter school that offers online classes to students of Gwinnett County. Students can take one class or a full-time load of classes from grades 4-12 at the Online Campus, and over 5000 have taken advantage of the courses. The school offers flexibility in scheduling for many types of students: young entrepreneurs, the medically fragile, athletes, actors, anyone who needs to fit school around an individual schedule. The level of instruction is high, with Ph.D.s and certified teachers having developed over 17,000 lessons. They have just won an award from Blackboard and serve as a model school because of their technological innovations and student success rate.
