Registration in the Norcross Cluster

PDS and NHS crest

The Norcross cluster of schools has two outstanding high school options for students to choose from – Paul Duke STEM High School or Norcross High School. While both schools offer rigorous academic course offerings and fine arts programs, there are several key differences between the schools. Once a family selects a preferred high school, the student may only move to the other high school by following the GCPS Permissive Transfer Process.

  • Information about Paul Duke STEM High School academic programs can be found on our website.
  • Information about Norcross High School can be found here

How do I register my in-cluster student?

Our 2025-2026 school year registration opens on March 24th, at which point you can begin the registration process. Once you complete the Online Registration (OLR) and submit all the required documents, we will arrange a registration appointment for you and your student. During this meeting, you'll have the opportunity to meet with a counselor to choose classes for the upcoming school year. 

This option is available only to students residing within the Norcross cluster. If you live outside the cluster, there is a different process to follow, please email pdsregistrar@gcpsk12.org
