Welcome to the Gary Community School Corporation, the public school district in Gary, IN. A hub of academic excellence and innovation catering to students from Pre-K through 12th grade. Our district is home to an expansive range of educational offerings that span the spectrum from STEM to Performing Arts.

We take pride in our three state-certified STEM schools, where we merge scientific inquiry with hands-on learning to ignite a passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in our students. These institutions are designed to foster critical thinking, creativity, and a love for discovery that extends beyond classroom walls.

Our high ability program offers a challenging and enriching curriculum for our gifted learners. This program is tailored to meet the unique intellectual needs of these students while encouraging them to maximize their potential.

We believe in providing a holistic education, which is why we offer an extensive array of extra-curricular activities. From athletics and arts to clubs and community service, there’s something for every student’s interest and talent.

Our Gary Area Career Center is another standout feature of our district. Starting as early as 7th grade, students can explore various career paths, acquire practical skills, and gain a clearer understanding of their future prospects. This early exposure helps students make informed decisions about their career trajectories.

Moreover, we provide dual credit and early college options in line with the state graduation pathways. These programs allow students to earn college credits while still in high school, giving them a head start on their higher education journey.

At our school district, we’re committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals who are equipped to thrive in the 21st century. We invite you to join us on this exciting educational journey.
