Social Studies Gateway Preparation Guide

Given for the first time in 10^th grade, the high school Gateway in Social Studies assesses students' language arts and social studies knowledge and skills. In writing his/her essay, a student must use their own knowledge about the topic and pull information from the documents provided. The High School Gateway was developed in response to requests from community and business leaders, along with college and university faculty, for increased proficiency in written communication. In order to be successful beyond high school, graduates must be able to communicate information and knowledge in a clear concise written format. Students must successfully pass all sections of the Gateway exam to graduate from Gwinnett County Public Schools.
