Parents of students enrolled in the Free and Reduced Meal Program must reapply for the program each school year. Applications for the 2022-2023 school year are now available on the Gwinnett County Public Schools website at https://bit.ly/GCPS-FRMeals. (You may change the language of the application in the upper right corner.) Students who qualify for Free and Reduced Meals often qualify for reduced fees for AP testing, ACT testing, SAT testing, and college applications.

We encourage parents of all eligible students to apply as soon as possible.
