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 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 3 as Governor, he established a teacher’s retirement system. When asked what he was proudest of during his time as Governor, Mrs. Arnall replied, "Spending more than 50 cents of every dollar on education is to much. 5 cents is what is currently spent and it shouldn't change. I believe in a free and open education."
