Scott High selected as one of only 13 National Outstanding High Schools That Work (HSTW). This award is based on the success of local school leaders and teachers in improving school practices and raising student achievement. The award was presented by Dave Spence, president of the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), at the 25th Annual HSTW Staff Development Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday, July 20, 2011.  Spence praised the school for its achievement, pointing out that it takes dedication and hard work on the part of state, district and school leaders and teachers to make progress in preparing students for postsecondary studies and careers. Scott was one of only 13 HSTW schools in the nation to receive the 2011 Outstanding School Award.

Scott High now has "Ebooks" that can be read online. See the Media Center page for more info.
