Join us to celebrate Grant Park author Wayne Drash's new book, On These Courts, detailing former NBA player Penny Hardaway’s return to his old neighborhood to coach at-risk youth.

Community Builds Natural Playscape at The Highlander School - Photos
The Highlander School in East Atlanta Village hosted a Community Build event to help create a natural playscape, one of the first of its kind in Atlanta! The new playscape design, by Rusty Keeler of Earthplay, was inspired by the hills, rivers, and plants of Georgia and will be filled with art, music, and nature-inspired play features.

The Community Build event involved many skilled volunteers and generous donors. We’re thrilled to bring natural play spaces to our families and East Atlanta. For more information on the Highlander School, please contact Rukia Rogers at
