All Fulton County residents, including families who live outside the North Springs attendance zone, are encouraged to explore the school’s programs and learn about the application process. The deadline to apply for out-of-area Fulton County STEAM students is Dec. 18. Eligible students outside Fulton County can attend by paying tuition.

Career readiness in high school

North Springs offers two distinctive pathways: its STEAM Magnet and Visual and Performing Arts programs, which combine science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics through hands-on learning and creative exploration, and its Accelerated Career Diploma (ACD) program.

Through a partnership with Gwinnett Technical College, ACD students can earn a high school diploma and industry credentials in high-demand fields such as welding, cybersecurity, and technology.

North Springs is the only STEAM Magnet high school in Fulton County Schools and the only ACD program in a comprehensive high school. Students in August 2027 will be the first to take classes in a brand-new building.

Beyond its specialized programs, North Springs offers a wide range of academic and extracurricular opportunities, including:

  • 26 Advanced Placement (AP) courses across multiple disciplines
  • Dual Enrollment options that allow students to earn college credit
  • More than 60 clubs and extracurricular activities
  • 17 varsity and junior varsity sports teams
  • Work-based learning opportunities that connect students with career experiences
  • In-person World Language courses, with opportunities to earn the Seal of Biliteracy

At the open house, visitors can meet representatives from every Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) and Fine Arts elective pathway, as well as teachers and staff from core academic subjects, World Languages, Freshman Academy, Talented and Gifted (TAG), ACD, STEAM, and athletics. Throughout the evening, current students will also showcase their talents through performances by the Orchestra, Dance, Theatre, and Music Industry departments.

Families interested in visiting the school may also register for a tour using the North Springs High School tour registration form. Available tour times are listed on the registration page.
