LAKE OCONEE ACADEMY OFFICIALLY OPENS NEW HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS

Greensboro, Ga. (October 22, 2019) – Lake Oconee Academy (LOA) officially opened the new high school campus expansion on the afternoon of Friday, October 18, 2019, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and the annual Titan Bash festivities.

Students, families, faculty, and community guests gathered to celebrate the completion of the new 17-classroom academic building, the Titan Center, which includes a gymnasium, cafeteria and weight room, and the baseball field. The 2017 Capital Campaign on behalf of the Lake Oconee Academy Foundation was instrumental in providing additional funds to further enhance the features of the new buildings which house over 250 high school students. Parents and community members were given guided tours of the buildings and baseball field by LOA Student Government Association senior class members.

The evening concluded with the Titan Bash which was hosted by LOA Parent Teacher Committee volunteers. The Titan Bash is a night of fun and fellowship for the Titan family that includes face painting, carnival games, bounce houses, dance party, and a cook-out dinner.
