The exams

have been taken, the shirts pressed and the parties

planned.

This

weekend, hundreds of Coweta's students take the first

step towards adulthood with graduation ceremonies at all

three high schools. All schools plan to conduct services

in their respective stadiums.

In case of

rain, ceremonies will move inside to the schools'

gymnasiums, with admission to ticket-holders only. Each

graduate receives an allotment of tickets to distribute

to immediate family.

No tickets

are available from the schools.

Newnan High

School leads off the ceremonies today at 7:30 p.m. in the

stadium.

Due to

current construction reducing parking space on the

campus, the school is providing shuttle service from the

Newnan City Hall parking lot every 30 minutes beginning

at 5:30 and ending at 7 p.m. Shuttles will also make the

return trip after the ceremony.

On the

eastern side of the county, East Coweta High School's

graduation ceremony will be tomorrow at 10 a.m.

Valedictorian

Venetia Thrower plans to attend Georgia Tech and major in

engineering or math, while salutatorian Justin Polizzi is

bound for Tech and will major in pre-med.

The biggest

excitement around the county is at Northgate, which plans

its first graduation tomorrow.

The

ceremony starts at 1 p.m. Golf cart shuttle service will

be provided from the ticket gate to the home stands.

Northgate's

valedictorian Jennifer Skrmetti is bound for the

University of Georgia and plans to major in history.

Malissa Minix is this year's salutatorian and plans to

attend Shorter College and major in secondary ed-math.
