Discovery High School is a public high school in Lawrenceville, Georgia, United States. The school is operated by Gwinnett County Public Schools. Its only feeder is Richards Middle School.

It was built in 2015 for over $70 million.[2] Its opening provided relief to over crowding at Central Gwinnett High School and Berkmar High School.

As of 2018 it had 2,716 students.[3] That year GCPS acquired land for the Discovery High park facilities using eminent domain.[4]
