Dear Parents:
Scott High School was notified May 24, 2007, by the State Superintendent of Schools that our school attained "School of Excellence" status.  We are considered a model for other schools throughout the state. Schools of Excellence for 21st Century Learning are selected based on the following criteria: a rigorous and challenging curriculum, a safe and drug-free learning environment, participatory leadership, active teaching and learning, an environment that strengthens teacher skills, documented student achievement and implementing advanced and innovated programs. Scott High School was one of only two high schools in West Virginia to achieve this status. We are the first high school in Boone County to accomplish this. 

Our school has a very dedicated faculty who welcome your concerns. They view education as a partnership between home and school. Over the years, the spirit and tradition that is our school have played a key role in shaping the educational experience. Each class profits from the example of those who have gone before them. Ours has been a tradition of students committed to the proposition that the privilege of coming to school carries with it the obligation to do the best they can. These are important years, and it is reassuring to work with young people who see a challenge in their potential to be the best they can.

I hope you and your child have a good experience at Scott High School this year.  If there is anything we can do to help your child, please do not hesitate to call. The unvoiced problem cannot be resolved, as the missed opportunity rarely offers itself again. Our goal remains to provide the best possible education for each student. We trust that your experience with our school will enhance your faith in public education. We also hope that you will find in this school an education for your children that is worthy of your love and concern for them.

Sincerely,
Leonard Bolton
Principal
