Good morning, Marietta.

Gas prices in Georgia dropped by six cents over the past week to an average of $2.98 per gallon for regular unleaded—thanks to lower crude oil prices and reduced demand after Spring Break.

Meanwhile, nationwide EV charging rates stayed at 34 cents per kilowatt-hour—per AAA’s report.

Pope High School Winter Guard traveled to Dayton+Ohio to compete at the Winter Guard International World Championships where they were named the 2025 Scholastic A World Champions.
