History

Alcovy High School opened to grades 9-12 in the 2006-2007 school year.[1] The school was built to relieve the population of Newton High School and Eastside High School. The school was built with 82 classrooms, and it has room to accommodate up to 2,500 students. The class schedule originally was six periods. In 2009, the Newton County School System changed all high schools to a four-block schedule. In 2011, it changed all high schools to a six-period schedule, which changed graduation credit requirements starting with the graduating Class of 2012. In 2008, the school updated, adding classrooms and a Ninth Grade Academy, which opened in Fall 2010. The graduating Class of 2015 was the first to use it. In 2010, the school was rezoned and students from Newton High School were transferred to Alcovy so that the school system could demolish Newton in 2013 and build a new high school. Alcovy's first graduating class was the Class of 2010. In 2009, Alcovy High served as a filming location for Rob Zombie's Halloween II, as the exterior of a hospital. In 2011, the school hosted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAGA-TV "High Five Field Trip" on the Fox 5 Morning News.
