MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Middle Georgia teenagers who have dropped out of school or are at risk of dropping out now have a chance to earn their diploma, thanks to a former NBA star.

Magic Johnson’s Bridgescape Center celebrated its grand opening Friday morning on Northside Drive in Macon.  It’s located in the Ashley Park Office Complex.

The school is a part of the Provost Academy of Georgia and will offer a blend of online learning with one-on-one and small group instruction available for students who may require it.

“They also have Georgia-certified teachers available to work with them,” says Executive Director of PAGA, Monica Henson.  “We have guidance counselors, we have a principal, we have a safe, secure environment and we’re very, very excited to be offering another choice to the families of Bibb County and the surrounding area.”
