As the end of the 2006-07 school year approaches, Coweta County Schools have begun preparation for honors programs and other major events to mark the end of the academic year.
Northgate and Newnan High Schools have already held their honors day ceremonies, and East Coweta High School will hold theirs this Monday, May 7 at the Centre for Performing and Visual Arts on Lower Fayetteville Road.
Several events will be held this weekend, including a performance by the Coweta County Middle School Honors Choir on Saturday, May 5, 1:30 p.m. at the Arts Center (admission to the public is free), the Arnall Middle school honors ceremony at Arnall on (Sunday, May 6 at 2:00 p.m.), and a ceremony at Jefferson Parkway Elementary School opening a 12-year-old time capsule buried by the 1995 elementary school’s 1995 classes (also Sunday, at 2 p.m.).
Several of those former Jefferson Parkway Elementary students are graduating in this year’s senior classes during the final week of school, with ceremonies held at May 23 through 26.
