Welcome to Garner Magnet High School! The men and women who serve in the armed forces and in Non-Defense Uniformed Service are among our most valued assets as a nation and your children deserve the very best WCPSS has to offer. We recognize the unique challenges facing families and students as they transition to a new home and a new school. We have developed this section of our website to provide information about resources available to military-connected families. We are eager to support the military-connected students that bring rich experiences and perspectives into our classrooms. We hope the following resources are helpful to you.
