There may be additional consequences for the students.
Two North Cobb High students face criminal trespass charges after they tried Monday to break into what they thought was a vacant home. A worker at the home spotted the pair and alerted authorities of a "burglary in progress near North Cobb High," said Officer Mike Bowman, spokesman for the Cobb County Police Department. The worker followed the girl and boy, who left the house and returned to North Cobb High.

Here's what you need to know in Kennesaw for Aug. 16.
l. Like the weather Monday? It felt like fall—and was perfect for the first day of school! Today will be a repeat, according to the National Weather Service. Look for sunny skies with a high near 88. Tonight will be mostly clear with a low around 62. 2. Monday was the first day back to school for Kennesaw students, and 800 freshmen at North Cobb High School walked into a brand-new building.

Scrimmage game ushers in new stadium seating and new field for the Allatoona Buccaneers.
The 2011 High School football season gets underway in just a week, and in preparation for that, the North Cobb Warriors (Region 4-AAAAA) traveled to Allatoona (Region 7B-AAA) for a preseason scrimmage with the Buccaneers. Allatoona has just completed a phase of additions to its football stadium. A new turf field paid for by SPLOST III dollars approved by voters in 2008 and an entire set of new bleachers on the home side of the field were just completed about a week ago. The Buccaneers have practiced on the new field for just five days. Both teams came out looking very offense-oriented. North Cobb scored on its first possession, with Ty Griffin running the ball in for the game's first score. Allatoona fired right back, marching down the …

So I guess a lot of schools do it in the evening. more ›
