Beloved Cobb bus driver of 40 years reflects on career

A Cobb County school bus driver who’s been behind the wheel for about 40 years is sharing her story.

Claudette Petsch, called “Ms. Claudette” by the students who ride her buses, said she’s not only a bus driver, but comes from a line of bus drivers in Cobb County.

“I’m a multi-generational bus driver,” Petsch said.

Cobb County School District officials said Petsch has driven for the same three schools her entire career: Sedalia Park Elementary School, East Cobb Middle School and Wheeler High School.
