MESH: Marietta Evening School Hours are held 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at the Woods Wilkins Campus, 350 Lemon St., Marietta.

Recently renovated for $3.5 million by Marietta City Schools, MESH is the site of the former Lemon Street Grammar School that had been closed for nearly 50 years until its reopening in January, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported.
