“The Gaston Early College of Medical Sciences is the first step for our students to embark on a career journey into the medical field. Because of our partnership with Gaston College, we are able to offer a specialized high school program to help meet the growing demand for people to work in the healthcare industry.”
Beverley Bowman, Principal

The Gaston Early College of Medical Sciences ranks among the best schools in Gaston County. We are in the top five for having the highest student proficiency, we exceeded our academic growth expectations, and we earned another A grade from the state.

Graduation is a major milestone. It is a rite of passage for our students as they move on from high school and embark on new opportunities in college, the military, and the workforce.
When our graduating seniors walk across the stage, they are prepared for success and prosperity in life. It’s our ultimate commitment to students.
