Behind every student’s success is a team of dedicated educators, staff, and support professionals who make Cobb Schools one of the best places to work and learn.

Behind every thriving school is a community of dedicated volunteers who give their time, energy, and hearts to support students and staff. At this year’s Volunteer of the Year Awards & Luncheon, we had the honor of celebrating these remarkable individuals who make a lasting impact in Cobb Schools. Some volunteers, like Mr. Frank, spend hours mentoring and reading with students each week. Others, like Lyrika Holmes, bring the gift of music to children at no cost to families. Volunteers like James Collins lend their talents to extracurricular activities, helping shape the student experience beyond the classroom. ?? And then there was a moment that left us speechless— Mike Lindemen and North Star Church announced a $30,000 donation to the Cobb Schools Foundation, ensuring more families receive the support they need. These stories remind us that education is a community effort. Whether they’re organizing teacher appreciation events, coaching young athletes, or providing meals for families, our volunteers are the heart of Cobb Schools. To every volunteer: Thank you for making a difference. Our students and staff are stronger because of you. Know someone who goes above and beyond for Cobb Schools?

Now, her legacy continues through the Strength and Shield Scholarship, which supports Harrison seniors who embody her dedication, work ethic, and compassion. "I promise Olivia every day that she will never be forgotten, and every person who participated in the 5K is helping me keep that promise." – Tara Pugh Events like this remind us of the power of community.
