Mychal Frost

ROCK HILL, S.C.— Beginning April 1, Mychal Frost assumed the role of Public Information Coordinator for the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, and Advancement. A December 2006 graduate of Winthrop University, Frost joins CERRA after volunteering as a Media Relations Assistant in Winthrop’s athletic department for the past 10 months.

He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in publication layout and design from his active involvement with communications and public relations offices with the Carolina Panthers (NFL), Charlotte Knights (Minor League Baseball), Winthrop University and Coker College.  

Frost completed CERRA’s Teacher Cadet program while a senior at Rock Hill High School in 2002 before attending Coker College on a soccer scholarship with visions of a career in communications. After transferring to Winthrop in 2004, Frost says his passion for communicating effectively began to flourish while working for his father, Jack Frost, Winthrop’s Assistant Athletic Director for Media Relations.

“I am thankful to Gayle Sawyer and the CERRA staff for believing in me and allowing me to have the opportunity to work for such a worthwhile and meaningful cause as we aim to better the teaching profession in South Carolina,” he said.    

With an extensive background in athletics’ communication, the 22-year-old Frost welcomes his new venture with CERRA.  

CERRA, an independent state agency located on the campus of Winthrop University, is the oldest and most established teacher recruitment program in the country. The purpose of CERRA is to provide leadership in identifying, attracting, placing and retaining well-qualified individuals for the teaching profession in South Carolina. CERRA’s programs have been adopted at school, district and state levels in more than 30 states in the United States.
