About This Short
A brand-new $246 million high school is taking shape on a hilltop just south of Atlanta — and it’s set to completely transform the area. Designed by Perkins & Will, the same architects behind Drew Charter and major BeltLine projects, the new North Clayton High School will be one of the most advanced educational campuses in metro Atlanta.
The 380,000-square-foot facility will feature:
- Modern architecture and bold design
- A 5K cross-country course, golf complex, and indoor turf facility
- A community health clinic with public access
- Space for more than 1,700 students
This isn’t just a new school — it’s a statement of investment in Clayton County’s future. I’m Mellanda Reese, and I cover all the developments shaping Atlanta’s communities — from real estate and redevelopment to design and culture.
