High school seniors get prom of their dreams despite difficult year NEWNAN, Georgia (WGCL) — Newnan High School seniors braced for the news prom would be canceled but instead school leaders announced they would move forward with the in-person event, plus pay for all seniors and their dates. The special night comes after COVID-19 hit the school hard, then a tornado hit even harder late March. That EF4 tornado was no match for the town’s flood of support within the community and on campus. “They had so many ups and downs in the school but we’re staying Newnan strong and we’re going to throw a prom to remember,” Kyle Kahn told CBS46. The school hired Kahn to plan an “epic night” at the Newnan Centre.
