Two Gwinnett County schools — Paul Duke STEM High School and Bay Creek Middle School — are the first in Gwinnett to earn recognition from Common Sense for their implementation of digital citizenship lessons.

The designation as a Common Sense School speaks to the schools’ commitment to helping students think critically and use technology responsibly to learn, create and participate, according to a news release. As part of the recognition, the schools earned a badge that publicly affirms their school culture is invested in helping students thrive as digital learners and citizens.
