Students and staff from Apalachee High School hung out with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

The Apalachee football team visited “The Rock” on Saturday at a movie set in Atlanta. The actor and former professional wrestler wrote in one of his Instagram post captions that he was “blown away” by the students’ resilience.

Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia has been reeling since the mass school shooting that occurred on Sept. 4 where four people were killed and nine others hospitalized.

The Rock plans to attend the football team’s first home game on October 4, against Jackson County Panthers at 7:30 p.m. in solidarity with the school.
