Meet our Staff

Welcome to our Family

We welcome you to Sarah Scott Middle School, home of the Scotties!  Each day we build on a rich and wonderful history which dates back to 1919.  Ours is a history filled with success, excitement, rich instruction and a strong sense of family. We are the home of the “Scotties”.   We hope you will take some time to explore the resources and links on our website.
