After each academy session, Citizen Academy class members attend a graduation ceremony and receive Certificates of Completion. Graduates are also recognized by the Mayor and Newnan City Council during a council meeting.

But their participation in the City of Newnan's government does not end at graduation, as many of the graduates go on to serve in other roles, such as volunteering, serving on a city board and commission, assisting with selecting members for future Citizen Academy classes, and even serving on the Newnan City Council.
