Earlier this month the Cobb County School District announced that Jacqueline Fross, who serves several East Cobb schools as part of its crisis response team, has been named the system’s social worker of the year. 
Fross supports students at Lassiter High School, Mabry Middle School and Davis, Garrison Mill and Rocky Mount elementary schools. In that role, she organizes community service projects, sponsors student clubs that promote volunteerism and service, and helped start the Lassiter community pantry.
Here’s more about Fross from a CCSD release:
In addition to having served on the boards of the National Association of Social Work and the state School Social Work Association, Fross is also a member of the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress and is certified in crisis response and critical incident debriefing.
Contributing to the professional growth of her colleagues, Cobb’s Social Worker of the Year has supervised and mentored other service professionals in preparation of professional licensure.
“I have had the privilege of a very diverse and rich work history to include many years as a school social worker, medical social worker, mental health professional, supervisor, crisis response counselor, consultant, and advocate,” says Fross. “Active involvement in my community and professional organizations is important to me.”
