This new program is helping students outside the classroom

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — As Marietta City Schools begin a new school year, it will welcome a program to help students outside of the classroom.

We toured the basement of Marietta High School where The Graduate Marietta Student Success Center is providing students with such needs as food and clothing.
