Benjamin E. Mays High School

Update: Class of 2020 Commencement Information- Please Read

In alignment with the current public health status in Fulton County and Georgia, the Atlanta Public School System has decided to postpone ALL 2020 in-person graduations, including that of Mays High School, previously scheduled for July 22, 2020, to a later date. Fulton County is now in substantial spread of Covid-19 and we cannot take the risk of bringing our graduates, families, and district employees together for large, in-person events.

It is understood that this may be a disappointment, but the Atlanta Public School System has committed to rescheduling these celebrations when community health has improved.

Please direct any questions to the district office.
