MCDONOUGH – Officials from Atlanta Motor Speedway and Henry County Schools have joined together to make graduation for the Class of 2020 possible this summer.
With current social distancing guidelines in place for the health and safety of the public, Henry County Schools had no facilities capable of hosting graduates and their supporters. Atlanta Motor Speedway stepped in to help.
