On Thursday night the Cobb Board of Education recognized numerous groups and individuals at its monthly voting meeting, including student and teachers at three schools in East Cobb.
They include the Pope softball team (above), which recently won the Georgia High School Association Class 6A state championship (ECN coverage here). It was the second for coach Chris Turco (front row, light blue pants), who also won his 300th game at Pope during the state tournament.
Also recognized were staff and teachers at Davis Elementary School for its recent certification as a STEM school.
Wheeler High School teacher Dr. Nicole Ice (in purple dress below) was honored as the recipient of the 2019 Georgia Council of Teachers of Mathematics Gladys M. Thomason Distinguished Service Award. She was recognized by the board with Wheeler principal Paul Gillihan, at left, and Vicki Massey, the Wheeler math coordinator.
