The school held a ribbon cutting ceremony, which featured speakers representing the school, Peach Bowl and CFP Foundation.
Both organizations says this is just one of several projects they have planned for eight metro Atlanta schools over the next year. The “Extra Yard Makeover” initiative will spend around $200,000 for the upgrades.
The Peach Bowl will host the College Football Playoff quarterfinal game on Jan. 1 between No. 4 Arizona State and the winner of No. 5 Texas vs. No. 12 Clemson.
