Welcome to Scott County
9th Grade School! We are so excited to start this year
with you. Moving from middle to high school is a big deal! One of
the most exciting aspects is it is a new beginning for you and your student.
Over the next few days your
students will be getting to know their teachers, and the teachers your students. So…..we didn't want to be left out. The following is a snapshot of our administrative staff.
