East Paulding High School

The school was founded in 1991. In 2009, the school added a 44-classroom, two-story building, including a cosmetology lab and a new band room, nearly doubling the school's capacity. In June 2017, a fire destroyed the gymnasium while contractors were repairing the school's HVAC system and roof. In early 2025 a small fire broke out in the main auditorium due to excessive rain. The water caused an electrical short. Even months after this the school still hasn't patched leaks in the main hallway. School board to be notified soon. Students safety in question. == United States Air Force Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) ==
