The Wheeler Class of 2020 finally got their opportunity to walk as a group and receive their diplomas at their commencement ceremony on the morning of July 24. 

Unlike their drive-through graduation in May, there were no fireworks and the event did not take place on the campus of their alma mater, but the Lassiter High School Commencement Ceremony was still a time to celebrate the Class of 2020 and all that they had accomplished. 

NSPG Global, a company based in Kennesaw, recently donated 17 new devices to the Cobb Schools Foundation after learning that Cobb students would be returning to school virtually this fall.

With Principal Dr. Dana Giles and Board of Education member Dr. Jaha Howard leading the way, the Pebblebrook Class of 2020 proceeded onto the field at Cantrell Stadium for their commencement ceremony.

Walton High School’s Class of 2020 includes 386 students who graduated with honors, 200 of which graduated with a GPA greater than 4.0. Almost 450 of the new graduates have earned the HOPE Scholarship.

The commencement ceremony for Pope High School’s Class of 2020 was a time to honor student accomplishments, but the students also used the opportunity to thank those who helped them achieve success. 

Following Superintendent Chris Ragsdale’s July 16 announcement that the 2020-2021 school year would start with a fully remote learning model, the Cobb Schools Food and Nutrition Services began preparing to provide breakfast and lunches to students in a way that best supports the remote environment. 

On Tuesday, July 21, the McEachern Class of 2020 celebrated their commencement on a beautiful morning on the field of their very own Cantrell Stadium. It was the 86th commencement ceremony for the historic high school founded by John McEachern in 1908.
