This school year, Baldwin County School District welcomed Pat Wolf as its new district social worker.
With over 30 years of experience supporting K–12 students, Wolf brings both compassion and a wealth of knowledge to her new role. As a licensed clinical social worker and United States Army veteran, Wolf spent her career working to ensure that every student, no matter their background or circumstances, has access to the support they need to thrive.
Originally from Florida, Wolf holds a bachelor’s in criminology and a master’s in social work from Florida State University. She later went on to earn an Educational Specialist degree in Leadership and Administration from Georgia College & State University. She has been a fixture in Georgia’s educational landscape for decades, serving as director of the Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Services for 26 years before retiring in 2023.
Currently, Wolf also serves as co-site director of Baldwin Foothills Academy. In her new district-wide role as social worker, she will collaborate with families, teachers, and administrators to provide trauma-informed care, mental health support, and community resources for Baldwin County students.
Wolf specializes in school-based mental health services, trauma support, and family outreach. She sees her role not only as a support to students but also as a bridge to families and community partners.
When she’s not advocating for students, Wolf stays busy with a rich and creative life. She’s the proud mother of three grown children, Erin, Abby, and Romulus, and a doting grandmother to Cash and Callaway. She also enjoys crocheting, working with stained glass, and exploring visual arts and photography.
Wolf’s commitment to service, both in and outside the classroom, makes her a powerful addition to the Baldwin County team. — Contributed
