Cobb County Schools celebrated our retiring employees Tuesday, May 1 during the annual Retirement Luncheon at the Roswell Street Baptist Church meeting center. Cobb will bid farewell to more than 180 employees at the end of the 2011-2012 school year, with many retiring after more than three decades of service.

The retirees were joined by their families and building principals and were greeted by members of the Cobb Board of Education and Superintendent Dr. Michael Hinojosa before being served lunch. Each retiree received a special plaque for their service. Entertainment was provided by the Hillgrove High School orchestra.
