A week-long schedule of commencement exercises for the Cobb County School District gets underway on Monday, with most schools once again holding their graduations at the Kennesaw State University Convocation Center.
All six high schools in the East Cobb area will be having graduation ceremonies there, as most schools did before the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the last two years, graduation took place outdoors at McEachern High School.
But with the return to KSU, the Cobb school district also is reverting back to some of its previous features.
Those include live-streaming of all graduation ceremonies at this link. DVDs of graduation events also can be ordered and purchased at this link; the cost is $30 for the DVD and for shpping.
The Cobb Horizon School will the first graduation ceremony, with Kell High School the first traditional high school to graduate its Class of 2022:
- Monday, May 23: Kell High School, 7:30 p.m., KSU
- Wednesday, May 25: Lassiter High School, 3:30 p.m., KSU
- Wednesday, May 25: Wheeler High School, 7:30 p.m., KSU

- Thursday, May 26: Sprayberry High School, 7 p.m., KSU
- Friday, May 27: Pope High School, 2:30 p.m., KSU
The Cobb County School District and KSU also have issued the following information about security and parking for graduation events.
There will be metal detector screenings for all persons entering the Convocation Center, and all bags must be clear totes or small clutch bags.
Graduates will report to the Siegel Recreation Center for line-ups, which will take place on the basketball courts.
That’s a change from previous commencements at KSU, but there no changes for parking locations.
