Graduation ceremony plans announced for East Coweta, Northgate and Newnan Highs

From Special Reports

All three Coweta County high schools will hold commencement ceremonies for their 2022 graduates this week, as the Coweta County School System’s academic year comes to a close.

This week’s graduation ceremonies will be held over three days.  Due to high anticipated participation in this year’s graduation ceremonies, and to the risk of rainy weather during graduation week, all three high schools have set alternative ceremony plans in place and each high school is reminding participants to arrive early for parking at each event.
