Georgia Schools Superintendent Richard Woods recently visited Mountain View Elementary School to recognize 25 Cobb County School District schools as Literacy Leaders.
“Literacy is the foundation of success, and it’s clear Cobb students have a strong foundation. Our schools are recognized as leaders because our teachers are able to focus on what matters and use Georgia standards as their guide,” said Board member Brad Wheeler.
Recognizing the success of their students, each honored school received ribbons to add to the school’s Literacy Leader Banner. For seven elementary schools, this was the second year in a row as a Georgia literacy leader. This was the first year the state recognized middle and high schools for literacy achievement, and eight Cobb middle and high schools earned the inaugural honor.
Instructional coaches, teachers instrumental in this reading achievement, and school administrators were honored at the event.
Superintendent Ragsdale praised the work of Cobb educators in keeping the spotlight on literacy.
According to the state school superintendent, Cobb’s literacy success “doesn’t happen just by chance, but it is intentionality.”
