Arnall Middle School is a middle school located in Newnan, Georgia but serves parts of Sharpsburg, Georgia. The facility is named in honor of the great Newnan resident and former Georgia Governor, Ellis G. Arnall, who served from 1943 until 1947. Governor Arnall was a noted supporter of education and educators. During his tenure as Governor, he established a teacher’s retirement system. When asked what he was proudest of during his time as Governor, Arnall replied, "Spending more than 50 cents of every dollar on education. I believe in a free and open education."
Arnall has been under the leadership of four principals. David Parrott opened the school in 1994 and upon his retirement he was followed by Charles Smith, Marc Guy, and their current principal, Rick Waggoner. Their school colors are royal blue and silver, and the Knights is their mascot.
