Ludacris Surprises Two Atlanta Students With Super Bowl Tickets

ATLANTA -- Ludacris surprised two Ron Clark Academy students this week with tickets to Super Bowl LIII, to be held Sunday, Feb. 3, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The internationally acclaimed Atlanta rapper and actor showed up at the nonprofit middle school in southeast Atlanta in his white Mercedes-Benz to recognize two students for "being really great with their character, with their friends, with inspiring everybody else."

Ludacris then called out for Cohen and Jericho, and gave them their tickets.

The Ron Clark Academy has received both national and international recognition for its success in educating students with academic rigor, passion, and creativity balanced by a strict code of discipline. Its 5th-8th grade students come from a variety of social, economic and academic backgrounds and communities from across Atlanta.

Road closures are set to begin Monday for several downtown and midtown Atlanta streets, ahead of the game.
