After years

of waiting, Coweta County finally has a night high

school.

The Board

of Education approved the new school to be housed at the

Central Education Center this fall. The school will serve

students who previously had to go to Fayette or Carroll

counties to complete their high school educations at

night.

Classes

will be offered Monday through Thursday evenings. Math,

science, English and social studies classes will be

initially offered.

The

schedule for the night high school has students arriving

at 4 p.m. and the last class ending at 10:25 p.m.

Students

16-21 who have not received their diplomas can enroll at

the school full-time without paying tuition. Any other

students will pay $300 a course and a $50 book deposit.

Late registration will cost the student $25 and there is

a $15 science lab fee.

School

officials said there is a possibility of adding a summer

program in 2001 so students working full-time can

continue taking classes in the summer.

Some of the

classes offered this fall include algebra, biology,

chemistry, English language arts, civics and world

history.
