School Social Workers are recognized annually as School Social Worker of the Year (SSWOTY) in their districts by the School Social Workers Association of Georgia.  District members are recognized for this outstanding achievement because of their leadership at district and state levels, political and legislative engagement, commitment to the Code of Ethics and their contributions to the School Social Work profession.
