Marietta High is only Cobb school without auditorium
Voter approval of a government bond in Marietta next February or March would expedite construction of an auditorium at the city high school.
"We are the only high school in Cobb County without any type of auditorium," Marietta High Principal Leigh Colburn said this week at a meeting. She estimated that 600 art students would use the $9 million facility.
The vote is during the presidential primary. Approval would bring construction in 2012 -- and more property taxes. Denial would kill or delay it: the facility could still be built if voters approve a sales tax in 2013.
