2019-20 Individual Classified Employees of the Year
Each year, the Cobb County School District and the Cobb Schools Foundation honors the top men and women in our critical support roles. All of the school and department level nominees (see list below) are invited to the celebratory luncheon and every one is congratulated on-stage by Board of Education Members and the Superintendent.
Winners are selected from a list of more than 120 CCSD employees who were each nominated by their peers for exhibiting an exemplary work ethic and a dedication to the District’s direction and goals.
