History

[edit | edit source]

Paul Duke, which opened in 2018 with grades 9–11, with 1,390 prospective students as of August 2023, has a STEM focus.[5] Built for $38 million, it relieved Norcross High School; as of 2018 it only takes students in the Norcross High attendance zone, including areas of Peachtree Corners, and therefore is not yet a magnet school.[6]

The 296,565-square-foot (27,551.8 m2) capacity school, the smallest built in the period 2008–2018, has fine arts, music, and gymnasium spaces, but will not have its own non-intramural sports team facilities. Of the schools built circa 2008-2018 it had the highest per-square foot costs.[6] The school is named after Paul A. Duke who founded Peachtree Corners.[7]
