Coweta
County
Schools
wished
over
21,000
students
a good
summer
on
Friday,
as they
sent
them
home on
the last
day of
the
2006-07
school
year.
Several
elementary
schools
held the
remainder
of their
honors
programs
before
students
went
home at
noon.
Friday,
May 25
was a
half-day
conference
day for
schools.
It was
also the
last
such day
for the
school
system,
as the
2007-08
school
calendar
does not
include
half-days.
Northgate
and East
Coweta
High
School
finished
up the
last
details
for
their
respective
Friday
night
and
Saturday
morning
graduation
ceremonies.
Newnan
was
first on
the
rotation
this
year
with
their
Thursday
evening
graduation.
Next
year,
Northgate’s
graduation
will be
held
first.
For East
Coweta
High’s
Saturday
graduation
– held
at 9
a.m. at
Garland
Shoemake
Memorial
Stadium
– school
officials
are
urging
attendees
to park
at three
satellite
sites at
Lee
Middle
School,
Willis
Road
Elementary
School,
and
Poplar
Road
Elementary
School.
Graduation
visitors
can park
at the
sites
and ride
buses to
the
campus,
which
will be
running
continuously
before
the
ceremony
starting
at 7
a.m.
The
parking
sites
will be
staffed
with
deputies
for
security
purposes
and
volunteers
that
will
assist
with
parking
vehicles.
The
school
expects
that the
shuttle
bus
services
will
help to
alleviate
some of
the
parking
congestion
experienced
at past
graduations.
ECHS’
graduation
will be
the last
major
event of
the
2006-07
school
year.
June
summer
school
starts
at
several
locations
June 4,
and
Coweta

begin
the next
regular
school
year on

August
6.
