The student section is the best. Attending athletic events is so much fun. It is also a great experience to have a large student section cheering when I play baseball.

my time at Newnan high school was actually amazing. whenever I first got there, I was so shy because everyone knew each other from kindergarten and up and literally talked to no one that includes the teachers but as the year went on, I found that not only the students, but the teachers as well were the most amazing and kind souls I had ever met. I made a connection with them that felt like years in a couple months. I knew that all they wanted was for me to succeed no matter what. they showed me that I could all of my skills to work and that I'm worth way more than I thought, they gave me motivation. and although I have graduated, they will always be forever my favorite memories and my favorite high school.

If you can get your child into a different High School then by all means do so. So glad my senior will be done with this school a half semester early and she was able to do it without the help of the so called Newnan High School Administration.
