 This land was purchased by the Gwinnett County Public School System because a 1998 tornado cleared the land of trees.The new building shared the same design as its Gwinnett County neighbor, Peachtree Ridge High School.The former facility at 2595 Beaver Ruin Road was renamed Buchanan High School of Technology, which until July 2013 housed the Gwinnett Online Campus and GIVE Center West, a grade 6-12 alternative school.
