    From Discovery High School

    The Clyde L. Strickland Entrepreneurship Center, named for a local businessman and an entrepreneur who supported the creation of the program is a four-year Entrepreneurship Program developed to prepare Gwinnett County high school students for a career as an entrepreneur during high school or after the completion of their high school education.

    Through the program, students focus on business plan development and participate in a word-based learning program that gives them a chance to work for themselves both inside and outside of the school environment.

    In addition, the program provides students with access to six maker spaces, including Laser Burner, Dye Sublimation, Video and Audio Editing, Sign Making, Embroidery, and Sewing, and 3-D Printing, that will help students explore possibilities and options.

    In addition to the entrepreneurship center, the academies offered at Discovery include Business and Entrepreneurship, Fine Arts and Communication, Health and Human Services, and STEM.
