Dear Students and Parents,
I am sure you all have heard that
Mr. Cox has retired and that I have been hired to
replace him. Replacing an individual and friend that has
been so successful for so long is not easy. I would
like to take a second to tell you a little about myself.
I am married and the father of two wonderful daughters.
I graduated from Rio Grande University in 1987 with a BS
in Physical Education and Physical Science. I received
my Masters degree in Leadership Studies from Marshall
University in 2000. I have been employed by Boone County
Schools for the past 24 years. I was hired by Boone
County Schools in the fall of 1987, where I began my
career at Madison Middle School. While at Madison Middle
School, I taught Science and Physical Education for 18
years. While working at Madison Middle School, I had the
pleasure of coaching both football and basketball here
at Scott High School. For the last 6 years I have been
an administrator at Sherman Senior High School.
I am very excited and looking
forward to beginning the new school year. As the
principal there are many responsibilities that fall upon
my shoulders. Some of those responsibilities include
providing a quality educational facility, keeping you as
a parent informed, maintaining school discipline and
most importantly, keeping your children safe. I promise
to do my best to provide the encouragement and guidance
necessary to keep Scott High School successful!
As a parent there are some
responsibilities that we need your help with. First, we
need you to take an active interest in your child’s
education. Ask them questions about school, provide the
structure at home to make sure that they are doing their
assignments, help them to set personal goals and then
help provide the encouragement to see your child reach
their goals.
Secondly, we need your children in
school. We all know that students become ill and may
need to stay home. But, too often students miss school
for unnecessary reasons. As educators, we are charged
with teaching your children, but we cannot teach them if
they are not in school. Please make every attempt to
have your children at school everyday possible.
I am looking forward to meeting
each and every one of you. I am excited to be the
principal at Scott High School and most importantly I am
looking forward to watching our students grow to be
successful, productive citizens.
Thank you,
Allen E. Halley
Principal
Scott High School
