Atlanta students returned to an upgraded Maynard H. Jackson High School on Wednesday following renovations and additions to its auditorium, dance studio, art rooms, cafeteria, classrooms and gym.

The $48.3 million renovation also included a turf football field, a 400-meter track, a baseball field, a softball field, three tennis courts and a media center.

The Grant Park school, which had 960 students enrolled as of Oct. 1, will accommodate up to 1,500 students.
