Atlanta Public Schools finalized this week the purchase of a 56-acre site in northwest Atlanta for the city's new Buckhead-area high school. Final cost of the purchase totaled $55.3 million.
The site, at the former IBM complex on Northside Parkway, will replace North Atlanta High School on Northside Drive. The new school is scheduled to open in August 2013. The North Atlanta campus will then be converted into a second middle school in Buckhead, relieving an overcrowded Sutton Middle School on Powers Ferry Road near Chastain Park.
