Students are allowed to express their individuality and there is much support for special needs. The school pulled together and worked through not only Covid but a tornado damaging the school. The community, staff, parents, and students are very supportive and this was a wonderful school for my Autistic child.

Newnan High School is a school where the football team hasn't done great since 2019 and the school food sucks.

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.
